INTRODUCTION. 

It  was  a  fit  remark  of  Daniel  "Webster,  who  was  born  Avithin 
the  broad  evening  shadow  of  Kearsarge  Mountain,  and  breathed 
in  his  youth  the  pure  air  blowing  over  and  from  our  Andover 
hills,  that :  "  It  is  wise  for  us  to  recur  to  the  history  of  our  an- 
cestors. Those  who  do  not  look  upon  themselves  as  a  link  con- 
necting the  past  with  the  future  do  not  perform  their  duty  to 
the  world. ' ' 

It  may  well  be  added  that,  for  those  who  do  not  hark  back  to 
a  long  ancestral  list  of  those  who  "did  and  dared,"  there  is  no 
better  time  than  the  present  to  begin  an  accounting  for  their 
civic  responsibility  in  the  present  time  as  well  as  in  the  future. 

The  statesman  worthy  of  the  name,  must  be  a  diligent  stu- 
dent of  histors^  both  recent  and  remote. 

An  enlightened  and  useful  citizenship  is  largely  attained 
through  a  knowledge  of  history  of  a  local  character,  closely  re- 
lated to  the  land  in  which  we  live  and  to  the  town  of  our  birth 
or  our  home. 

Only  a  small  fraction  of  the  world's  history  is  ever  written; 
it  exists  as  the  stream  of  flowing  events  in  the  current  age ;  as 
individual  knowledge;  to  some  extent  in  architecture,  sculp- 
ture, manuscripts  and  printed  books,  but  in  much  larger  propor- 
tion, in  tradition. 

In  this  volume  will  be  found  some  of  the  results  of  much  study 
of  the  printed  page  and  of  manuscripts  relating  to  Andover,  its 
people  and  its  principal  historical  events.  Here  are  gathered 
facts  from  the  memories  of  many  men  and  women  of  Andover 
stock.  There  are  also  many  items  of  great  interest  that  have 
been  discovered  through  clues  furnished  by  tradition  and  checked 
by  contemporaneous  events;  and  by  fugitive  letters  and  manu- 
scripts. 

The  preparation  of  this  history'  should  have  been  undertaken 
at  least  sixty-five  years  ago  and  that  portion  relating  to  the  early 
history  pushed  to  a  conclusion.     Then  scores  of  men  and  women 


xviii  Introduction. 

were  living  in  town  who  had  the  historical  facts  and  tradi- 
tions in  full  and  clear  possession ;  but  they  have  passed  over  to 
the  ranks  of  the  great  majority,  and  in  that  way  much  pertain- 
ing to  the  early  life  of  the  town  has  been  lost. 

Concerning  the  pictures  in  this  volume  it  should  be  said  that, 
by  vote  of  the  town,  all  illustrations  made  at  the  expense  of  the 
town  were  to  be  confined  to  landscapes.  Accordingly  it  has 
been  the  intention  to  exhibit,  as  far  as  possible  with  the  limited 
number  of  pictures,  the  typical  scenery  of  the  town. 

It  was  found  that  satisfactory  half-tone  portraits  could  only 
be  made  from  first  class  photographs.  Only  pictures  from  such 
photographs  have  been  used,  which  accounts  for  the  small  num- 
ber of  portraits  found  in  the  volume. 

It  would  be  almost  impossible  to  commend  too  highly  the  zeal 
and  diligence  of  Mr.  George  E.  Emery  who  first  undertook  the 
task  of  preparing  a  history  of  his  native  town.  He  was  a  direct 
descendent  of  Dr.  Anthony  Emery,  one  of  the  best  known  and 
most  active  of  the  original  Proprietors  to  whom  the  town  Avas 
granted,  and  he  brought  to  his  task  the  stimulus  not  only  of 
his  love  and  respect  for  his  ancestor,  but  an  ardent  and  appre- 
ciative love  for  his  native  town.  He  began  to  accumulate  mate- 
rial for  his  work  nearly  thirty-five  years  ago  and  continued 
this  labor  until  his  health  failed  and  he  was  obliged  to  seek  re- 
cuperation in  complete  rest.  Unfortunately  all  efforts  for  that 
end  were  unavailing  and  after  continued  suffering  for  fifteen 
years  he  died  in  London,  England,  January  6,  1900. 

Ever  mindful  of  the  absorbing  interest  which  sustained  Mr. 
Emery  in  his  work,  and  in  full  sympathy  with  his  strong  wish 
that  a  history  of  his  native  town  should  be  prepared,  his  family, 
without  any  stipulation  of  terms  or  any  mention  whatever  of 
compensation,  transferred,  through  the  kindly  offices  of  Mr.  W. 
A.  Bachelder,  all  of  ]\Ir.  Emeiy  's  collected  data  to  the  committee 
having  charge  of  the  town  histor^^ 

With  this  mass  of  matter  as  a  basis  the  committee  began  anew 
the  preparation  of  the  historv. 

At  the  earnest  solicitation  of  a  number  of  citizens  deeply  in- 
terested in  the  plan  for  a  history,  the  writer  consented  to  take 
up  a  small  portion  of  the  work  Avhich  came  within  his  personal 


History  of  Andovee.  xix 

knowledge,  with  the  understanding  that  the  main  portion  of  the 
labor  would  be  undertaken  by  some  other  person.  Unfortu- 
nately, the  "other  person"  has  not  yet  appeared;  and  gradually, 
step  by  step,  the  work  has  increased,  expanded  in  various  ways, 
and  the  entire  preparation  has  finally  fallen  to  the  lot  of  one 
who  had  no  intention  of  assuming  any  role  but  that  of  a  tem- 
porary helper. 

No  work  of  this  character  is  ever  complete ;  additional  facts, 
new  sources  of  information  and  fresh  opportunities  for  investi- 
gation, continually  appear,  and  it  is  never  ending.  Approxi- 
mate success,  even,  is  only  possible  with  the  hearty  cooperation 
of  others  whose  zeal  and  interest  never  flag.  In  all  this  labor 
great  assistance  has  been  rendered  by  many  loyal  sons  and 
daughters  of  Andover  but  special  recognition  should  be  given 
to  the  constant  and  tireless  assistance  of  ]\Ir.  William  Adams 
Bachelder,  continuing  to  within  a  few  weeks  of  his  lamented 
death;  and  to  the  active  and  enthusiastic  assistance  of  Mrs. 
Marcia  F.  Hilton  in  finding  "signs"  of  many  genealogical  trails 
that  had  been  lost  for  years;  and  in  rediscovering  long  forgotten 
but  important  facts  in  many  family  histories. 

In  the  following  pages  may  be  found  the  chronicles  of  a 
quiet  beautiful  town  in  the  hill  country  of  picturesque  New 
Hampshire ;  written  and  compiled  in  a  spirit  of  loving  apprecia- 
tion of  those  who  have  gone  before,  of  those  who  really  lived 
the  simple  but  important  life  of  the  independent,  thoughtful 
citizen. 

No  credit  can  be  claimed  but  for  the  honest  endeavor  to  record 
the  facts  for  the  sake  of  the  truth  and  its  preservation. 

Errors  are  inevitable  and  original  authorities  sometimes  differ 
widely. 

It  is  earnestly  hoped  that  the  mantle  of  charity  may  be  broad 
enough  to  cover  aU  mistakes.

THE    EARLY    HISTORY. 

In  1635  Capt.  John  Mason  obtained  a  grant  of  the  province 
of  New  Hampshire.  At  his  death  he  gave  to  his  grandson, 
Robert  Tufton,  INIason  Hall  and  the  lands  in  that  vicinity,  and 
to  his  grandson,  John  Tufton,  on  condition  that  he  assume  the 
name  John  Tnfton  Mason,  the  remainder  of  the  entire  New 
Hampshire  grant  or  province.  Finally,  John  Tufton  Mason 
sold  his  entire  claim  to  the  following  persons  for  the  sum  of 
£15,000 : 

Theodore  Atkinson,  Nathaniel  Meserve, 

Mark  Hunking  Wentworth,        Thomas  Wallingford, 
Richard  Wibird,  Jotham  Odiorne, 

John  Wentworth,  Joshua  Pierce, 

George  Jaffrey,  John  Moffatt, 

Samuel  Moore,  ..  Thomas  Packer. 

Eleven  of  the  above  purchasers  of  Mason 's  grant  were  residents 
of  Portsmouth.     Thomas  Wallingford  resided  in  Somersworth. 

Theodore  Atkinson,  the  son  of  Hon.  Theodore  Atkinson,  was 
born  at  Newcastle,  December  20,  1697;  graduated  at  Harvard 
College  in  1718,  was  a  counsellor  in  1734,  subsequently  a  judge 
of  the  Superior  Court  and  was  secretary  of  the  province  when 
Penning  Wentworth  was  governor.     He  died  September  22,  1779. 

Mark  Hunking  Wentworth  was  the  son  of  Lieut.-Gov.  John 
Wentworth  and  the  father  of  Sir  John  Wentworth.  He  was  a 
merchant  of  ample  means,  good  reputation  and  as  favorably 
known  in  commercial  circles  in  London  as  in  the  new  country. 
He  died  in  Portsmouth,  December  19,  1785. 

Richard  Wibird  came  to  this  country  in  one  of  the  king's 
ships  as  purveyor,  or  poulterer,  to  the  ship's  officers.  He  mar- 
ried a  Mrs.  Due  of  Hampton,  of  approved  business  ability.  He 
engaged  in  commerce  and  was  successful.  He  and  his  wife  accu- 
mulated a  large  estate  and  built  the  first  brick  house  ever  erected 
in  Portsmouth. 


2  History  op  Andover. 

John  Wentworth  was  the  only  son  of  Gov.  Benning  Went- 
W'orth.  He  was  wealthy,  charitable  and  a  man  of  much  influ- 
<ence  in  Portsmouth,  where  he  died  November  8,  1759. 

Geor{j:e  Jaffrey,  Jotliam  Odiorne  and  John  Moffatt  were  men  of 
wealth  and  good  reputation  in  Portsmouth. 

Samuel  Moore  commanded  a  New  Hampshire  regiment  in  the 
Louisburg  campaign. 

Nathaniel  Meserve  was  a  lieutenant-colonel  at  the  siege  of 
Louisburg,  in  1745,  and  constructed  the  sledges  on  which  the 
cannon  were  drawn  through  the  morass.  In  1756  the  Earl  of 
Loudoun,  commander-in-chief  of  his  majesty's  forces  in  North 
America,  presented  him  with  an  elegant  silver  bowl  in  testimony 
of  his  good  services  at  Fort  Edward,  where  he  was  in  command 
of  the  regiment  in  charge  of  the  fort.  He  afterwards  went  to 
Louisburg  again  and  died  there. 

Thomas  Wallingford  was  a  native  of  Somersworth.  In  early 
life  he  was  dependent  on  manual  labor  for  support,  but  by 
industry  and  economy  he  acquired  considerable  property  and 
became  a  merchant  and  a  respected  citizen.  He  was  a  colonel 
in  the  militia  and  a  judge  of  the  Superior  Court.  He  died  in 
Portsmouth,  August  4,  1771,  and  was  buried  at  Somersworth. 

Joshua  Pierce  was  a  son  of  Hon.  Daniel  Pierce  of  Portsmouth, 
who,  in  1766,  was  one  of  his  majesty's  council.  The  son  was 
principally  known  as  an  extensive  landowner. 

Thomas  Packer  was  sheriff  of  the  province  of  New  Hampshire 
for  30  years,  and  was  highly  esteemed  by  his  fellow  citizens.  He 
died  June  22,  1771.  His  father  was  a  surgeon,  born  in  London, 
and  came  to  Portsmouth  as  a  physician.  He  held  several  impor- 
tant offices  previous  to  1695,  and  in  1719  was  a  councillor. 

In  1748  a  number  of  Louisburg  soldiers  and  others  petitioned 
the  above-named  INIasonian  proprietors  for  the  grant  of  a  town- 
ship of  land  next  north  from  Stevenstown  (now  Salisbury),  and 
presented  a  rough  draft  of  a  survey  of  the  territory. 

The  proprietors,  at  a  meeting  held  at  Portsmouth.  December  7, 
1748,  "Voted  That  IMr.  Edmund  Brown  and  associates  have  a 
township  equal  to  six  miles  square  joining  upon  the  north  side 
of  Stevens'  and  associates'  above  said  tract,  upon  the  west  side 
of  Pemigewasset  river,  upon  such  reservations  and  Limitations 
hereafter  to  be  agreed  upon." 


The  Early  History.  3 

No  further  action  was  taken  under  the  above  grant,  but 
Edmund  Brown  and  his  associates  again  appeared  in  1751  as 
petitioners  for  a  larger  territory  and  were  successful.

Under  the  terms  of  the  above  agreement,  many  of  the  lots 
changed  owners  within  a  few  years. 

THE   ENABLING   ACT. 

An  act  to  enable  the  proprietors  of  New  Breton  to  sell  lands, 
etc.,  passed  the  House  in  the  Provincial  Legislature  of  New 
Hampshire  on  May  31,  1765.  The  governor  and  council  con- 
sented to  the  act, 22,  1766.     The  month  of  the  latter  date 

is  not  definitely  given  in  the  records,  nor  are  the  details  of  the 
act  given.  It  is  evident,  however,  that  the  proprietors  acted 
under  such  authority. 

THE   SETTLEMENT. 

Although  the  proprietors  of  New  Breton  were  quite  ready  to 
begin  the  settlement  of  their  grant,  nothing  was  accomplished  in 
that  direction  during  the  next  seven  years.  On  ]\[ay  11,  1754, 
only  ten  days  after  the  transfer  of  the  grant  had  been  completed, 
Nathaniel  Meloon,  who  had  settled  in  Stevenstown,  west  of  the 
Blackwater,  was  captured  by  the  St.  Francis  Indians  and,  with 
his  family  of   six    persons,    carried  to    Canada  and  sold  to  the 


The  Early  History.  9 

Prench  settlers.  On  August  15,  1754,  in  the  eastern  part  of 
Salisbury,  near  the  Webster  place,  the  Indians  killed  Timothy 
Cook  and  Mrs.  Philip  Call.  On  the  same  day,  Kobert  Barber 
and  Samuel  Scribner  of  Stevenstown,  who  were  haying  near 
^'Flag-hole,"  were  captured  by  a  part  of  the  same  band  who  had 
killed  Cook  and  Mrs.  Call  at  the  Webster  place,  and  were  taken 
to  Canada  and  sold  to  the  French.  All  these  prisoners,  save  a 
young  daughter  of  Meloon,  finally  returned  to  their  homes. 
These  Indian  raids  immediately  stopped  all  preparations  for  set- 
tling the  grant  until  the  close  of  the  French  and  Indian  War,  by 
the  English  conquest  of  Canada  in  1760. 

When  the  incursions  of  the  Canadian  Indians  ceased,  the  plans 
for  settlement  were  taken  up  anew. 

The  first  settler  was  Joseph  Fellows,  who  occupied  his  log  cabin, 
in  what  has  since  been  called  the  "Flaghole"  district,  in  the 
spring  of  1761.  He  was  followed  by  Elias  Rano,  William  Morey, 
Edward  Ladd  and  Simeon  Connor.  They  were  soon  followed 
by  John  Rowe,  William  Emery  and  others,  all  hardy,  trained  and 
fearless  men,  well  skilled  in  the  use  of  the  axe  and  the  gun ;  and 
most  of  them  afterwards  saw  service  in  the  war  for  American 
independence. 

Soon  after  the  settlement  of  New  Breton  began,  there  were 
many  discouraging  circumstances,  due  mainly  to  the  small  annual 
additions  made  to  the  colony  and  to  the  misunderstandings 
between  the  settlers  and  the  proprietors.  This  dissatisfaction 
finally  culminated  in  the  folloAving  letter,  which  will  explain 
itself : 

A  letter  of  Complaint  from  the  Settlers  of  the  township  of  Newbrit- 
ton  to  the  genteel  men  granters  of  Said  township  Whareas  your  honers 
Ware  pleased  to  grant  this  township  to  a  Sertain  number  of  men  and 
they  having  givn  Som  Small  incourigment  for  Settling  We  a  few  of  us 
have  under  taken  to  Settle  in  Said  town  we  would  inform  you  genteel- 
men  that  we  undergo  a  great  deel  of  Difekelty  on  the  a  count  of  the 
proprietrs  being  backword  in  promoting  the  Settlement  of  this  town 
they  are  not  carefull  to  perform  what  they  promised  us  neithe  can  we 
learn  as  they  give  any  incourigment  at  all  for  any  more  to  Com  into 
the  town  they  Clear  us  no  rodes  build  us  no  bridges  indeed  they  have 
built  us  a  saw  mill  but  that  not  being  Completed  as  it  ought  to  be  that 
we  git  our  bords  with  a  great  deel  of  Difikelty  but  this  is  not  all  we 
Suffer  more  abundently  for  want  of  a  grist  mill  we  have  been  forsed 
to  go  twenty  mils  to  mill  this  year  with  a  teem  and  men  upon   ....

three  Days  and  nights  by  these  and  such  like  dlfikeltys  and  many  more 
which  would  be  needless  for  us  to  mention  is  the  grate  means  why 
people  do  not  settle  in  the  town  if  the  proprietrs  would  give  any  proper 
Incourigment  there  is  men  stands  radey  to  settle  in  the  town  but  by 
the  backwardness  of  the  proprietrs  they  are  Discoriged  and  it  hath 
almost  Discoriged  us  for  in  removing  into  Suchy  Distent  wildrness  we 
are  Deprived  of  the  privilege  of  the  gospel  which  is  one  grate  Discour- 
igment  and  things  at  present  lookes  very  Dull  with  us  and  without 
theire  be  some  further  care  taken  we  Sea  nothing  else  but  we  are 
likely  to  spend  the  rest  of  our  Days  in  a  wildrness  without  the  gospel 
as  those  hethen  natives  of  the  land  hath  done  before  us  and  there  fore 
genteelmen  we  your  most  humble  Sarvents  would  be  gratly  obliged  to 
you  if  you  would  be  so  Cheretible  to  us  as  to  Stir  up  and  move  forward 
our  proprietrs  in  the  further  Settlement  of  this  town  for  we  Cannot 
Sea  as  they  have  any  regard  to  their  fellow  Creters  but  only  for  their 
own  privet  interest  atrying  to  Save  their  land  with  as  little  Cost  as 
possible  and  we  at  the  Same  time  are  the  grate  Suffers  by  this  means 
and  genteelmen  this  is  our  Complaint  hoping  that  your  Honours  will 
do  Sumthing  for  our  releif  Dated  at  Newbritton  November  the  5  1767

The  early  history  of  the  town,  known  at  various  times  as 
"Brownstown,"  " Emerystown, "  "New  Breton"  and,  finally, 
as  "Andover,"  was  developed  under  three  distinct  forms  of 
government. 

From  the  date  of  the  original  grant,  in  1751,  to  1773,  the  gov- 
ernment was  conducted  solely  by  the  proprietors.  From  June  21, 
1773,  to  July  13,  1779,  thie  territory  was  an  unincorporated  town- 
ship. After  its  incorporation  as  Andover  and  its  first  town  meet- 
ing on  July  13,  1779,  the  citizens  of  the  town  had  the  entire  con- 
trol of  its  municipal  affairs.  At  first  the  grant  was  sometimes 
called  "Brownstown,"  out  of  respect  to  the  first  named  grantee, 
Edmund  Brown.  Afterwards  it  was  sometimes  called  "Emerys- 
town,"  after  Anthony  Emery,  who  was  interested  in  the  settle- 
ment of  the  grant. 

On  j\Iay  28,  1773,  the  General  Court  of  the  British  Province  of 
New  Hampshire  passed  an  act,  requiring  each  unincorporated 
township  to  organize  a  local  government,  to  facilitate  the  due 
apportionment  or  assessment  and  collection  of  taxes  for  the  sup- 
port of  the  provincial  government. 

By  virtue  of  the  authority  vested  in  him,  John  Goffe  of  Derry- 


The  Early  History.  11 

field  called  a  meeting  of  the  settlers  of  New  Breton  for  the  pur- 
pose of  organizing  their  township  under  the  provincial  law.  The 
meeting  was  held  June  21,  1773,  in  the  house  of  the  first  settler, 
Joseph  Fellows.  At  this  meeting  the  required  local  township 
government  was  organized  and  the  necessary  officers  were  elected. 
It  was  voted  that  the  assessors  should  invoice  the  property  of  the 
inhabitants.  This  arrangement  did  not  supersede  the  organiza- 
tion of  the  proprietors  or  change  their  methods  of  proprietary 
control. 

The  first  town  meeting  after  the  incorporation  of  the  town  as 
Andover  was  called  by  Samuel  Blake.  The  call  was  dated  June 
29,  1779.  At  this  meeting,  held  at  the  meeting-house,  July  13^ 
1779,  the  following  town  officers  were  chosen : 

Moderator,  Samuel  Blake. 

TowTi  Clerk,  Jonathan  Weare. 

Selectmen,  Joseph  Philbrick,  Samuel  Blake,  Jabez  Morrill. 

Assessors,  Peter  Weare,  Joseph  Chandler. 

Surveyors  of  Highways,  Robert  Wise,  John  Eowe,  Joseph  Phil- 
brick,  Joseph  Fellows. 

Tithing  Men,  William  Morey,  John  Rowe. 

Hog  Constables,  William  Emery,  Josiah  Scribner,  Robert  Wise, 
Ebenezer  Tucker. 

Constable,  Thomas  Blake. 

Fence  Viewers,  Joseph  Philbrick,  John  Rowe. 

Deerkeepers,  Robert  Wise,  Moses  Clough. 

Surveyor  of  Lumber,  Moses  Clough. 

At  this  meeting  the  record  shows :  ' '  Lastly,  voted  to  give  five 
hundred  dollars  for  a  man  to  go  into  the  Continental  Service 
during  the  war." 

Diligent  search  has,  thus  far,  found  no  record  of  any  reason 
assigned  for  changing  the  name  of  this  town  from  New  Breton 
to  Andover.  It  is  generally  supposed  that  the  war  with  Great 
Britain  made  the  former  name,  generally  pronounced  like  the 
name  of  the  mother  country,  very  objectionable  to  the  residents, 
of  the  township ;  but  why  the  name  Andover  was  selected  has 
not  yet  appeared.

town  meetings. 

After  the  organization  of  the  township,  the  meetings  of  the 
■citizens  were  held  at  private  houses  until  the  first  church  was 
built.  After  the  first  minister  was  settled,  all  the  business  of  the 
town  and  the  church  was  transacted  at  meetings  generally  held 
in  the  meeting-house.  There  is  a  record  that  the  town  meeting 
•on  April  16,  1798,  and  also  the  following  meeting,  were  held  at 
the  tavern  of  Elisha  Cilley  at  the  Centre.  In  1840  the  town 
voted  to  relinquish  all  claim  to  the  meeting-house  (the  North 
Church)  to  any  society  that  would  repair  it  and  maintain  it  in 
good  condition.  The  offer  was  accepted  by  the  Christian  denom- 
ination and  the  town  meetings  were  afterwards  held  in  halls, 
taverns  or  the  church  at  the  Centre,  until  the  erection  of  the 
town  house  at  the  Centre  in  1879.  During  this  period  most  of 
the  meetings  were  held  in  the  hall  in  the  tavern  at  the  Centre. 

Following  is  the  call  for  the  first  meeting  of  the  people  of  New 
Breton  under  the  pro\ancial  law :

CLEARING  OF  FARMS  BY  THE  EARLY  SETTLERS. 

Thomas  Blake  from  Epping  cleared  the  farm  long  occupied  by 
Paine  R.  Robie  and  afterwards  owned  by  Friend  Bailey. 

John  Rowell  cleared  much  of  the  farm  on  which  his  son,  John^ 
the  father  of  Warren  Rowell,  passed  most  of  his  life. 

Willard  Emery,  son  of  AVilliam,  the  earliest  settler  of  that 


Early  Settlers.  39 

name,  cleared  up  the  farm  where  he  lived  most  of  his  life.  This 
farm  was  long  owned  by  his  son-in-law,  Watson  Dickerson,  and 
afterwards  by  Augustus  Shaw. 

John  Saunders  cleared  considerable  land  between  the  ]Mill 
Brook  and  the  Emery  Road,  and  easterly  from  the  cross  road 
connecting  these  highways.  His  house  stood  near  the  northeast 
corner  of  the  orchard  formerly  known  as  the  Fellows  orchard 
on  the  first  road  from  the  Pemigew^asset  River  to  the  mills. 

Nathaniel  Danford  cleared  the  first  farm  on  the  River  Road. 
The  farm  was  afterwards  owned  by  John  Simonds  and  by  his 
son,  John  Wesley  Simonds.  Danford  came  to  Andover  about 
1770.  At  that  time  his  nearest  neighbor  to  the  north  was  in 
New  Chester  and  five  miles  away. 

Nathan  Bartlett  cleared  the  Green  Greely  farm  near  Elbow 
Pond. 

Aaron  Cilley  cleared  the  first  farm  and  built  the  first  sawmill 
at  Cilley ville.     He  settled  there  about  1785. 

Ephraim  Eastman  cleared  the  farm  afterwards  owned  by  his 
son.  Royal  F.  Eastman,  on  the  w^est  side  of  Beech  Hill. 

Isaiah  Langley  cleared  most  of  the  farm  where  he  lived  and 
died  and  where  his  son,  Dudley  F.  Langley,  lived  for  many  years. 
Henry  M.  Thompson  now  owns  the  farm. 

Samuel  Elkins  cleared  the  farm  afterwards  owned  by  his 
grandson,  Hervey,  and  his  great-grandson,  Wendell  P.  Elkins. 

Jeremiah  Elkins  cleared  the  farm,  part  of  which  is  now  owned 
by  Charles  H.  Merrill. 

Richard  Elkins,  brother  of  Samuel  and  Jeremiah,  cleared  the 
farm  below  the  Beech  Hill  schoolhouse  and  now  known  as  the 
"Weeks  place." 

Samuel  Kimball  cleared  the  farm  now  owned  by  Frank  Pet- 
tingill. 

Edward  Ladd  cleared  the  farm  afterwards  owned  by  James 
Marston. 

About  the  time  the  town  was  incorporated  as  Andover,  in  1779, 
the  business  of  farming  was  not  very  far  advanced.  The  fields 
and  pastures  were  small,  stony  and  thickly  studded  with  tree 
stumps.  The  fences  were  temporary  and  mainly  made  of  half- 
burned  logs  from  the  clearings,  and  of  brush.  Bridges  were 
floored  with  logs  hewn  on  one  side  only,  while  those  over  small 


40  History  of  Andover. 

streams  were  made  wholly  of  unhewn  poles,  spruce,  hemlock  or 
balsam.  Hay  was  taken  to  the  barns  on  poles,  called  "haypoles," 
by  two  men  or  was  drawn  on  sleds  by  oxen.  Roads  were  crooked, 
narrow  and  uneven,  and  often  plentifully  supplied  with  mud 
holes. 

The  buildinsr  of  stone  walls  did  not  begin  till  about  1800. 
Probably  more  than  three  quarters  of  the  stone  walls  have  been 
built  since  1820.  Walls  were  not  built  until  after  the  stumps 
and  roots  had  decayed  or  had  been  dug  out  and  burned.  The 
second  stage  of  land  clearing  and  wall  building  was  inaugurated 
when  the  loose  stone  that  cumbered  the  surfaces  of  field  and 
pasture  were  gathered  into  the  "double  walls"  that  are  scattered 
throughout  the  town.  The  building  of  these  walls  began  about 
1830.  A  good  example  of  this  kind  of  wall  may  be  seen  beside 
the  road  on  the  Ezekiel  Knowles  farm  on  the  hill  south  of  East 
Andover  village. 

When  the  inventory  of  taxable  property  was  made  April  1, 
1777,  there  were  47  voters  or  "polls"  returned  by  the  committee. 
The  total  assessed  value  of  real  estate  was  £71  6s.  6d.  and  the 
assessment  made  on  that  valuation  was  £5.  The  inventory  com- 
mittee fixed  upon  the  following  relative  values: 

4  acres  of  pasture  were  necessary  for  one  cow; 

1  acre  of  orchard  was  supposed  to  produce  10  barrels  of  cider ; 

1  acre  of  field  would  yield  one  ton  of  hay; 

1  acre  of  tillage  would  yield  25  bushels  of  corn. 

HOUSES  OF  THE  EARLY  SETTLERS. 

All  the  houses  of  those  who  settled  in  Andover  before  1770 
are  believed  to  have  been  constructed  of  pine,  hemlock  or  spruce 
logs.  The  first  cabin  of  Joseph  Fellows  was  built  chiefly  of  hem- 
lock logs  and  the  roof  was  made  of  spruce  poles  and  large  sheets 
of  hemlock  bark.  The  ground  floor  of  the  earliest  houses  was 
made  of  logs  hewn  on  three  sides.  The  best  and  widest  side  was 
laid  uppermost  and  the  other  two  sides  were  hewn  straight  to 
make  the  floor  as  tight  as  possible.  The  floors  of  the  small  attics 
or  garrets  of  those  houses  were  made  of  small  straight  spruce 
poles  laid  close  together. 

The  first  windows  were  sometimes  made  of  four  small  pieces 


Early  Settlers.  41 

of  "bull's  eye"  glass,  but  more  frequently  the  light  came  into 
the  primitive  cabin  through  a  woodehuck  skin,  from  which  the 
hair  had  been  removed,  rubbed  down  thin,  well-greased  and 
stretched  over  a  small  frame  fitted  into  an  opening  cut  in  the 
log  walls. 

Edward  Ladd  built  his  first  house  on  a  spot  about  eight  rods 
south  of  the  barn  owned  in  1902  by  Napoleon  B.  Bryant.  In 
one  respect  this  house  was  more  pretentious  than  any  other  build- 
ing in  town.  While  the  walls  were  made  of  logs,  the  roof  was 
covered  with  sawed  boards  which  Mr.  Ladd  hauled  on  a  hand 
sled,  three  at  a  load,  from  the  sawmill  of  Col.  Ebenezer  Webster 
on  Salisbury  "North  Koad. " 

"Clove,"  or  "riven,"  boards,  that  is,  boards  split  from  the 
log  and  hewn  wdth  axe  or  adze,  or  shaved  with  drawknife,  w^ere 
nsed  for  many  years  to  cover  the  roofs  of  log  houses;  and  to  a 
period  considerably  later  than  1800  they  were  used  for  the  roofs 
of  sheds  and  barns.  The  last  construction  of  this  character  in 
Andover,  so  far  as  now  known,  was  on  a  barn  built  by  Elijah 
Hilton  on  the  farm  now  owned  by  Henry  W.  Kilburn.  In  1850 
this  roof  was  as  sound  and  substantial  as  it  was  rare  and  inter- 
esting. 

The  very  last  of  the  old  series  of  log  houses  in  Andover  was 
built  by  Moses  Brown  at  the  south  side  of  Chance  Pond  before 
that  part  of  the  town  was  made  a  part  of  Franklin.  Some  per- 
sons now  living  may  remember  the  picturesque  appearance  of  the 
cabin  by  the  brook  near  Aiken's  beach. 

The  "Stevens  house,"  next  west  of  the  Capt.  Caleb  Marston 
farm,  is  the  oldest  house  standing  on  the  Emery  Road,  and  is 
of  the  average  size  of  the  earliest  "frame"  houses  built  in 
Andover. 

Willard  Emery,  son  of  William,  the  early  settler,  built  the 
first  framed  house  in  the  Emery  district.  This  house  was  taken 
down,  moved  to  Cilley's  Hill  and  was  long  occupied  there  as  a 
dwelling  by  Samuel  Page  and  family.  Mrs.  Page  was  noted  for 
her  strenuous,  stentorian  voice,  and  when,  after  each  sermon  in 
the  old  meeting-house,  she  rose  to  exhort  the  impenitent,  it  was 
said  that  she  made  the  sounding  board  shake,  if  not  the  knees 
of  sinners. 

The  chimneys  of  some  of  the  log  houses  were  ingeniously  con- 


42  History  op  Andover. 

structed  without  bricks  or  stone,  except  about  the  fireplaces. 
Four  tall,  straight  poles  formed  the  corners  of  the  great  flues. 
Across  these  poles,  as  the  flues  grew  in  height,  were  fastened 
short  and  smaller  sticks,  like  the  rungs  of  a  ladder  but  close 
together,  to  serve  the  same  purpose  as  modern  laths.  This  frame 
was  plastered  thickly  on  both  sides  with  a  mixture  of  clay  and 
blue-joint  grass,  until  sufficient  thickness  was  attained  to  make  a 
strong  smoke-and-spark-proof  chimney.  Above  the  roof  the 
chimney  was  finished' with  a  low  structure  of  stone  or  brick  as  a 
protection  against  rain  and  frost. 

The  last  house  in  town  to  exhibit  this  peculiar  kind  of  chimney 
was  the  one  occupied  for  several  years  by  the  Revolutionary  War 
veteran,  Samuel  McGowan.  The  house  was  standing  as  late  as 
1845,  on  the  road  a  little  west  of  the  present  schoolhouse  at 
Cilleyville. 


NOTES     ON     THE     WEATHER,     STORMS,     FRESHETS, 
DROUGHTS  AND   FROSTS   IN   ANDOVER. 

As  the  indications  of  the  ordinary  thermometer  of  the  present 
day  are  generally  far  from  trustworthy,  it  is  more  than  probable 
that  the  readings  of  such  thermometers  100  or  150  years  ago  are 
not  entitled  to  much  weight.  The  recorded  results,  from  changes 
of  temperature,  in  sudden  or  excessive  heat  or  cold,  are  more 
valuable  for  our  purpose.  The  following  items  are  compiled 
from  private  diaries,  letters,  newspapers  and  other  publications- 
and  probably  represent  a  very  small  portion  of  the  phenomena 
which  if  thoroughly  and  systematically  observed  and  recorded 
would  be  of  great  interest  today. 

1762 — No  considerable  amount  of  rain  fell  in  New  Breton 
during  123  days  preceding  September  1.  This  great  drought 
extended  over  a  large  portion  of  New  England. 

1771 — Little  or  no  snow  until  the  last  of  January. 

1780 — The  coldest  winter  known,  up  to  this  date,  in  Ne\^ 
Hampshire.  No  rain  or  thaw  during  the  winter;  the  spring 
very  backward.  A  great  freshet,  in  1780,  swept  down  sand,, 
gravel  and  loam  and  formed  the  bank  or  levee  now  existing- 
between  Blackwater  River  and  Horseshoe  Pond.  Previous  tO' 
this  date  the  space  between  the  pond  and  the  river  w^as  occupied 
by  a  low  sandy  marsh.  On  May  19  occurred  the  so-called  "dark 
day,"  which  extended  over  all  New  England. 

1784 — May  was  a  very  cold  month ;  the  apple  trees  were  not  in 
blossom  until  May  30. 

1785 — Very  deep  snow.  After  April  17  William,  father  of 
Anthony  Emery,  with  a  team  of  six  oxen,  hauled  logs  from  a 
timber  lot  across  fences  and  stone  walls  without  breaking  through 
the  "crust." 

1794 — The  spring  was  very  early,  but  on  May  17  there  came  a 
"freeze  that  destroyed  a  large  part  of  the  apples  that  were 
already  as  large  as  small  bullets." 

1798 — A  very  cold  autumn,  with  a  great  snow  storm. 

1799 — A  drought  in  August.     A  great  plague  of  grasshoppers. 


44  History  of  Andover. 

1800 — A  very  dry  spring,  lasting  until  July.  August  also  dry. 
Corn  crop  very  light.     Great  fire  on  Ragged  ]\Iountain  in  August. 

1801 — A  very  early  spring.  On  April  1  farmers  were  prepar- 
ing the  fields  for  sowing  grain  and  the  roads  were  dry.  On  June 
7  a  heavy  frost  killed  the  corn,  but  a  subsequent  planting  finally 
ripened. 

1802 — A  great  snow  storm  in  February.  The  snow  was  very 
fine  and  so  densely  packed  that  ox-teams  could  move  anywhere 
over  the  surface  without  breaking  through.  Heavy  rains  and  a 
notable  freshet  in  September. 

1804 — "A  remarkable  storm  of  snow,  rain  and  hail,  accom- 
panied with  thunder  and  lightning,  "occurred  early  in  October. 
■*'A  short  crop  of  hay." 

1806 — A  total  solar  eclipse  was  observed  in  Andover  on  June 
16.  The  total  phase  occurred  about  noon.  "The  air  was  per- 
fectly still,  the  stars  shone  with  great  brilliancy  and  the  fowls 
went  to  their  accustomed  roosts." 

1809 — A  very  cold  winter. 

1810 — January  18,  "warm  and  thawing."  January  19,  the 
■*''cold  Friday";  "terribly  cold  and  windy." 

1815 — September  23.  A  very  hea\y  gale,  destructive  to  trees 
and  crops.  Many  valuable  pine  trees  were  either  uprooted  or 
broken  down. 

1816 — Early  in  June  there  were  very  heavy  frosts;  in  some 
places  the  ground  was  frozen.  On  July  9  a  hea\y  frost  killed 
much  of  the  corn.  A  light  crop  of  grass.  Heavy  drought  in 
"September.  The  corn,  hay  and  apple  crops  almost  a  complete 
failure.     Frost  in  every  month  in  the  year. 

The  hay  crop  was  so  short  that  many  farmers  sold  nearly  all 
their  stock.  Anthony  Emery  bought  and  slaughtered  1,000 
sheep  and  sold  the  mutton  in  Massachusetts. 

1817 — In  the  spring  of  this  year  hay  sold  for  from  $20  to  $30 
per  ton,  wheat  was  $2.50,  and  corn  $2  per  bushel.  Excellent 
crops  this  year. 

1818 — Three  feet  of  snow  fell  early  in  April.  Quite  a  notable 
freshet.     A  late  spring. 

1819 — Little  snow  after  January.  An  early  spring  and  much 
plowing  was  done  before  May  1. 

1820 — ^^April  25.     The  snow  was  over  two  feet  deep   in  the 


Notes  on  the  "Weather,  Etc.  -15 

woods.  A  severe  drought  in  July,  August  and  September. 
"About  1820  a  great  fire  swept  tlie  summit  of  Ragged  Moun- 
tain." 

1821 — September  3  a  very  hea^y  northeast  rain  storm  lasted 
about  seven  hours.  The  wind  was  very  high  and  blew  down 
wooden  fences  and  demolished  many  light  buildings. 

On  September  9  a  severe  tornado  swept  over  Wendell  (now 
Sunapee),  New  London,  Sutton,  Wilmot,  Kearsarge  Mountain 
and  the  southwest  corner  of  Andover.  Much  damage  to  prop- 
erty was  done  along  its  track  and  great  quantities  of  debris  from 
shattered  houses  and  other  buildings  were  carried  over  the  north- 
ern shoulder  of  Kearsarge  and  scattered  over  the  southwest  cor- 
ner of  Andover.  A  feather  bed  fell  near  the  house  of  Gershom 
Durgin  in  Andover  and  a  lady's  muff,  blown  from  a  house  in 
Sutton,  was  found  in  a  tree  on  the  land  of  Ephraim  Eastman  on 
Beech  Hill. 

1823 — Thirty-one  snow  storms  during  the  winter  of  1822- '23. 
Sleighing  lasted  till  first  of  April.  Drought  in  autumn,  many 
streams  very  low  and  wells  dry. 

1824 — On  February  10  and  11  a  great  quantity  of  rain  fell,, 
breaking  up  the  ice  in  the  ponds  and  streams,  flooding  the  low- 
lands and  carrying  away  many  bridges,  especially  on  the  Pemi- 
gewasset  and  Merrimack  rivers. 

1826 — April  11.  Up  to  this  date  the  coldest  day  ever  known 
in  this  state  at  this  season.  A  notably  dry  season  until  August. 
The  grasshoppers  swept  some  fields  almost  bare  of  vegetation.  A 
heavy  rain,  from  Augiist  26  to  August  28,  caused  an  unprece- 
dented freshet.  A  clothing  mill  near  Bonney's  Mill  at  West 
Andover  was  carried  away  at  night  and  Moses  Frazier  and  an- 
other man  started  down  the  valley  to  alarm  the  citizens.  The 
water  rose  to  within  two  feet  of  the  doorstep  of  Col.  T.  J.  Cilley's 
house,  where  Jesse  Baker  lived  in  1900.  The  bed  of  the  brook 
east  of  Colonel  Cilley's  house  was  changed  to  its  present  location. 
It  was  formerly  several  rods  nearer  the  old  Thompson  tavern, 
where  John  Sanborn  lives.  The  water  from  the  river  backed  up 
into  the  barnyard  and  surrounded  the  elm  tree  in  front  of  the 
Shirley  house.     This  tree  is  about  one  hundred  years  old. 

1827 — On  May  30  there  was  snow  on  Kearsarge  that  had  fallen 
two  davs  before. 


46  History  op  Andover.

Andover  people. 

1834 — About  12.30  p.  m.  August  30,  Andover  and  vicinity  was 
considerably  shaken  by  an  earthquake.  There  was  one  shock 
followed  by  a  slight  tremor.  Plates  on  edge  on  the  antique 
kitchen  "dressers"  and  shelves  were  thrown  down,  loose  windows 
rattled  and  open  doors  swung  on  their  hinges. 

1835 — A  sharp  drought  in  June.  December  16  a  heavy  snow 
storm  and  severe  cold.  In  December  a  succession  of  snow  storms

feet.  A  high  wind  prevailed  for  nearly  a  week.  The  hill  roads 
■were  impassable  for  several  days. 

1836 — "About  twenty  weeks  of  good  sleighing."  A  grand 
display  of  a  red  borealis  was  seen  in  1836. 

1839 — January  27.  A  severe  freshet.  The  bridges  at  Dyer's 
Crossing  and  below  the  "Hog-back"  were  destroyed  and  the 
road  at  the  "G-ulf"  was  completely  washed  out. 

1843 — A  cold  and  backward  spring.  On  April  1  the  snow 
was  over  four  feet  deep  on  a  level  in  the  woods,  and  on  April  12 
it  was  three  feet  deep.  On  April  12  the  ice  on  the  ponds  was 
strong  enough  to  bear  teams.  Heavy  frost  on  May  31  and  June 
1  killed  the  early  vegetation,  but  a  second  planting  secured  a 
fair  harvest.  A  heavy  snow  storm  on  October  31.  This  snow 
remained  till  the  next  April. 

1852 — May  6,  a  snowfall  sufficient  for  sleighing  for  one  day. 

1854 — March  was  a  notably  cold  month.  An  unusual  displaj-- 
of  colored  aurora  borealis  on  April  23.  The  color  varied  from 
light  pink  to  rose  red  and  at  times  the  streamers  reached  from 
the  zenith  to  the  northern,  western  and  eastern  horizons.  The 
phenomena  continued  until  after  midnight.

zero. 

1855 — January  16.  "What  was  supposed  to  be  an  earthquake 
occurred  at  about  7  p.  m.  Several  jars  or  tremors  were  felt; 
no  damage. 

1857^The  warmest  December  ever  known  in  this  town  up  to 
this  date. 

1859 — The  last  w^eek  of  November  was  as  warm  as  is  usual 
in  June. 

1860 — In  February  a  tornado  swept  through  the  eastern  part 
of  the  town,  doing  much  damage  to  wood  and  timber  lots. 

1861— On  July  20  a  very  severe  wind  and  rain  storm  did  much 
damage  in  the  central  part  of  the  town.  The  zone  in  which  the 
damage  to  trees,  etc.,  occurred  was  not  more  than  two  miles  long 
and  half  a  mile  wide.  The  wind  was  from  the  southwest  and 
uprooted  or  broke  down  trees  of  all  sizes  on  land  of  Samuel  Mor- 
rill, Dr.  H.  A.  Weymouth,  Rev.  Reuben  Dearborn,  Dea.  Josiali 
Bachelder  and  others,  and  the  air  seemed  full  of  leaves,  limbs 
of  trees  and  debris  from  fences  and  small  outbuildings.  At  the 
residence  of  Doctor  Weymouth  a  board,  blown  from  a  shed,  was 
driven  with  such  force  against  the  side  of  the  house  that  the  end 
projected  beyond  the  interior  wall  of  the  room. 

1862 — March  14-16.  The  hardest  snow  storm  of  the  season.

the  abutments.  Nearly  thirtj^  rods  of  the  Northern  Railroad  em- 
bankment below  the  Andover  Center  station  were  washed  away 
and  many  of  the  highways  were  badly  damaged.  ]\Iore  than 
seven  feet  of  snow  fell  during  the  winter  1868- '69.

twenty-two  inches  thick. 

1874 — January  9,  Silas  C.  Fifield  tapped  several  trees  in  his 
maple  orchard  and  made  considerable  maple  syrup.  On  Feb- 
ruary 2  the  thermometer  indicated  a  temperature  of  30°  below 
zero.  Sleighbells  ringing  on  May  1.  Grood  hay  worth  $20  per 
ton.     Only  ten  inches  of  snow  in  December. 

1875 — February  14,  the  thermometer  registered  36°  below  zero.

mill  at  East  Andover. 

1876 — February  6,  the  thermometer  read  21°  below  zero;  on 
February  7  it  read  41°  above  zero;  a  rise  of  62°  in  less  than 
twenty-four  hours.  A  heavy  snow  storm  on  March  26,  followed 
by  rain,  produced  a  notable  freshet.  Four  feet  of  snow  fell  in 
December. 

1877 — About  four  inches  of  snow  fell  in  December ;  on  twenty- 
six  days  in  December  the  ground  was  bare.  From  1857  to  1877

July  4,  the  hottest  day  known  for  many  years,  108°  in  the  shade. 
In  December  a  heavy  snowstorm,  followed  by  a  rain,  caused  a 
freshet  in  the  Blackwater;  several  roads  were  impassable  for  a 
few  days

season  November  20. 

1881 — The  so-called  ''yellow  day"  occurred  on  September  6. 
It  was  quite  dark  in  Andover,  but  in  Massachusetts  in  many 
places  it  was  necessary  to  light  lamps  to  see  to  work  in  houses. 
The  darkest  period  occurred  about  3  p.  m.  The  darkness  was 
evidently  caused  by  smoke  and  haze. 

ICE     IN     HIGHLAND     LAKE. 

For  nineteen  years  ]\Ir.  W.  A.  Bachelder  noted  the  following 
dates  of  the  "breaking  up"  of  the  ice  in  Highland  Lake: 


1851

years  the  average  or  mean  date  for  the  breaking  of  the  ice  was 
April  24. 


DIVISION    OF    THE    TOWN. 

The  proposition  to  take  the  eastern  part  of  the  town  of 
Andover  to  form  a  portion  of  the  projected  town  of  Franklin 
was  at  first  opposed  by  the  citizens  of  Andover.  After  much  dis- 
cussion, assent  was  finally  given  on  the  condition  that  the  divid- 
ing line  should  extend,  parallel  to  the  longer  sides  of  the  lots, 
from  the  northern  line  of  Salisbury  to  the  southern  line  of  New 
Chester,  now  Hill. 

Mr.  J.  C.  Thompson  was  appointed  agent  to  represent  the  to\\Ti 
in  all  matters  pertaining  to  the  division,  and  active  negotiations 
soon  resulted  in  the  following  legislation : 

Extract  from  an  act  incorporating  the  town  of  Franklin,  ap- 
proved December  24,  1828.     John  Bell,  governor. 

Section  one  of  said  act  describes  the  boundaries  of  said  town. 
After  defining  the  line  between  Salisbury  and  Franklin  as  it 
approaches  the  line  between  Salisbury  and  Andover,  the  section 
reads : 

.  thence  North  14  Deg.  East  on  the  "Westerly  line  of  said  lot 
(lot  No.  61  in  the  third  range  of  lots  in  Salisbury)  474  rods  to  a  stone 
marked  C.  B.  at  the  South  side  of  the  road,  thence  North  about  73  Deg. 
East  following  the  course  of  the  Range  way  to  the  Southwest  corner  of 
lot  No.  52  in  the  4th  range  of  lots  in  said  Salisbury,  thence  North  fol- 
lowing the  westerly  line  of  said  lot  to  a  Stake  and  Stones  on  the  line 
between  Salisbury  and  Andover,  thence  South  about  73  Deg.  West  fol- 
lowing said  line  55  rods  to  a  stake  and  stones  at  the  Southwest  corner 
of  lot  No.  19  in  the  first  range  of  lots  in  Andover,  thence  North  about 
17  Deg.  "West  to  the  Northwest  corner  of  said  lot  No.  19,  and  at  the 
Southwest  corner  of  lot  No.  20  in  the  second  range  of  lots  in  Andover, 
thence  following  the  westerly  line  of  lot  No.  20,  aforesaid  320  rods  to  a 
Birch  tree  spotted,  thence  North  73  Degrees  East  nineteen  rods;  thence 
North  four  rods  across  the  road  to  the  Southwest  corner  of  lot  No.  61 
in  the  third  range  of  lots  in  said  Andover,  thence  North  about  17  De- 
grees "West  on  the  "Westerly  line  of  said  lot  until  you  strike  the  fourth 
range  way  in  Andover  aforesaid,  thence  across  said  range  way  to  the 
Southwest  corner  of  lot  No.  62  in  the  fourth  range  of  lots  in  said  Ando- 
ver thence  Northerly  on  the  "VN'^est  line  of  said  lot  to  the  line  of  New 
Chester  thence  Easterly  on  the  South  line  of  said  New  Chester  to  Pemi- 
gewasset  River.

DIVIDING  THE   TOWN  INTO   SCHOOL  DISTRICTS. 

The  division  of  the  town  into  school  districts  was  probably 
considered  at  an  early  period  of  its  corporate  existence,  but  the 
exact  date  of  the  first  movement  to  define  the  boundaries  of  the 
districts  is  not  definitely  kno-\Mi.  The  following  paper,  purport- 
ing to  be  the  record  of  the  first  division  of  the  town,  has  been 
offered  as  a  true  report  of  the  work  of  the  selectmen,  but  the 
general  form  of  the  report  and  the  wording  of  the  first  sentence 
tend  to  throw  some  doubt  on  the  genuineness  of  the  document. 

No  trace  of  this  report  is  found  in  the  town  records,  which 
at  about  that  period,  however,  are  notably  incomplete  and  some- 
times wanting. 

DIVISION    OF    THE    TOWN    INTO    SCHOOL    DISTRICTS. 

We,  the  subscribers,  agree  to  divide  off  the  inhabitants  of  Andover 
into  districts,  for  the  use,  benefit  and  order  of  schooling,  so  that  they 
may  know  where  to  build  the  school  houses  and  proportion  of  school

RESIDENCES  OF  TAXPAYERS. 

Taxpayers  resident  in  the  various  scliool  districts  in  Andover 
in  1825. — After  1818  several  propositions  to  divide  school  districts, 
were  referred,  by  vote  in  town  meeting,  to  the  selectmen  for 
determination.  No  record  has  been  found  of  such  action  before 
1825.  It  is  supposed  that  District  No.  16  was  created  by  the 
selectmen,  but  no  record  of  its  boundaries  has  been  found. 

In  examining  the  following  list  it  must  be  remembered  that 
it  contains  only  the  names  of  landholders,  or  of  sons  living  away 
from  their  parents.  The  poll  taxes  of  sons  residing  with  their 
parents  were  assessed  and  recorded  against  the  father.  The 
names  of  such  sons  do  not  appear  on  the  tax  lists.

In  1863  the  boundaries  of  the  school  districts  in  the  to^\-n  were 
re-established  by  a  committee  consisting  of  Aaron  Cilley,  Jr., 
Royal  F.  Eastman  and  William  B.  Emerj^  Their  report  was 
adopted  ]\Iarch  10,  1863. 


RELIGIOUS  SOCIETIES  AND  CHURCHES. 

A  meeting  of  the  proprietors  of  the  township  of  New  Breton 
was  called  on  May  9,  1768,  to  see  "if  they  would  hire  preaching 
for  any  part  of  this  year." 

On  April  13,  1772,  a  meeting  of  the  proprietors  was  called 
for  May  4,  to  see  if  they  "would  agree  to  build  a  meeting  house 
in  said  township." 

At  a  meeting  on  May  18,  1772:  "Voted  that  a  meeting  house 
be  Built  in  said  Township  of  New  Britain  for  the  Publick  wor- 
ship of  God, — said  house  to  be  20  feet  wide  and  30  feet  in  length 
and  nine  feet  stud  one  story  high  to  be  well  Boarded  on  the 
Sides  and  Ends  with  feather  Edged  Boards  the  Roof  well 
Boarded  and  Shingled  Proper  Doors  made  and  Double  floor  Laid 
over  the  whole  frame  below,  Plank  Laid  for  People  to  Sit  on  and 
a  Decent  Desk  for  the  minister :  and  where  as  Mr.  Benjamin  Til- 
ton  and  Mr.  Benjamin  Eaton  have  agreed  to  Build  said  house 
for  the  use  of  the  Proprietors  for  the  sum  of  sixty  four  dollars 
and  to  find  all  meterils  for  the  same:  to  be  compleated  in  work- 
manlike manner  within  on  year :  to  be  set  as  near  the  mills  which 
are  now  bnilt  in  said  Township  as  they  shall  think  most  conven- 
ient they  Procuring  Land  whereon  to  set  said  house :  Therefore 
voted  that  said  Tilton  &  Eaton  be  a  Committee  to  Build  said 
meeting  house  on  the  terms  above  mentioned  and  that  they  be 
Paid  by  the  Treasurer  of  the  Proprietors  the  above  mentioned 
sum  of  sixty  four  Dollars  one  half  to  be  Paid  within  six  months 
the  other  half  when  said  house  shall  be  compleated  as  above 
mentioned. ' ' 

"Voted: — that  one  dollar  and  half  be  Raised  on  each  original 
Right  in  said  Township  of  New  Brittain  for  Building  a  meeting 
house  and  Repairing  Roads." 

The  meeting  house  was  completed  and  ready  for  occupation 
in  the  spring  of  1773  and  served  for  a  church,  town  house  and 
hall  for  twenty-three  j^ears.  It  was  situated  on  the  opposite  side 
of  the  road  from  the  district  schoolhouse  at  East  Andover,  as  it 
existed  in  1900,  and  was  within  twenty  rods  of  the  first  sawmill 
and  gristmill  in  town. 


-  Religious  Societies  and  Churches.  65 

At  a  meeting-  on  June  1,  1773,  the  proprietors  voted  "that  three 
Shillings  Lawfull  money  be  Raised  on  each  original  Right  of  the 
Proprietors  of  New  Brittain  for  hireing  Preaching  for  the  Pres- 
ent year." 

Voted,  "Joseph  Fellows  and  William  Emery  be  chosen  a  com- 
mittee to  hire  sum  suitable  Person  to  Preach  in  the  Township 
of  Xew  Brittain." 

The  above  committee  hired  the  first  minister  in  town,  a  ]\Ir. 
Brown,  who  boarded  with  Joseph  Fellows. 

On  May  2,  1774,  voted,  "that  Thirty  Dollars  be  paid  out  of 
the  Proprietors  money  which  they  have  for  the  Islill ;  and  that 
William  Emery  and  Nathan  Rowe  be  a  Committee  to  hier  some 
Sutable  Parson  to  Preach  in  the  Township  of  Xew  Brittain  the 
Insuing  year  and  the  Committee  to  Draw  the  Thirty  Dollars  out 
of  the  Proprietor's  Treasurer's  hands  for  Preaching  in  said 
Township." 

On  April  11,  1775,  the  proprietors  voted  "that  half  a  dollar  be 
raised  on  each  original  Right  of  the  Proprietors  of  New  Brittain 
for  hiring  Preaching  in  the  Township  the  present  year." 

This  was  the  last  meeting  called  by  the  proprietors. 

The  inhabitants  of  New  Breton  established  a  town  government 
in  1773.  On  March  14,  1775,  they  voted  "to  pay  Capt.  William 
Emery  for  boarding  the  minister  last  year  out  of  the  surplus 
money  that  was  left  in  the  year  1774." 

It  will  be  seen  that  while  the  proprietors  exercised  no  author- 
ity in  the  government  of  the  town,  they  employed  the  minister 
and  appropriated  the  money  to  pay  him.  Soon  after  the  organ- 
ization of  the  town  government,  and  for  many  years  afterwards, 
the  affairs  of  the  church  were  managed  in  the  "town  meeting." 
The  whole  town  was  the  church  parish  and  each  citizen  paid  a 
"minister's  tax."  The  records  show  that  in  some  years  several 
town  meetings  were  held  for  church  and  for  business  purposes 
jointly. 

On  October  19,  1775,  William  Blake  was  chosen  "to  take  care 
of  the  meeting  house."  This  was  the  first  meeting-house,  built 
by  Tilton  and  Eaton  for  $64,  and  stood  a  few  feet  southwest  of 
the  entrance  to  the  present  North  Church  at  East  Andover. 

September  1,  1779,  voted  "to  raise  money  to  hire  four  days 
preaching  and  Joseph  Philbrick  Avas  chose  to  hire  the  preacher.'*

G6  History  of  Andover. 

April  6,  1780,  voted  "not  to  hire  any  preaching." 

August  31,  1780,  "Voted  to  raise  1200  Dollars  to  hire  Preach- 
ing &  voted  that  the  Selectmen  hire  a  Preacher." 

A  national  Thanksgiving,  appointed  for  December  7,  1780,  is 
the  first  reference  to  any  Thanksgiving  Day  in  the  town  records. 

July  16,  1781,  voted,  "to  clear  up  the  trees  fell  down  on  the 
Minister's  land  the  present  year."  Voted,  "to  raise  30  dollars 
old  way  to  hire  Preaching  the  Present  year  and  Chose  Samuel 
Blake,  Nathan  Kow  and  Jona.  Weare  a  Committee  to  hire  the 
man." 

August  31,  1781,  voted  "to  Kaise  1200  Dollars  to  hire  Preach- 
ing"; voted  "that  the  Selectmen  hire  a  preacher." 

October  1,  1781,  voted  "to  chuse  a  Committee  to  look  out  a 
place  to  build  a  meeting  house  and  Samuel  Blake,  Jonathan 
Weare  and  Simeon  Rollings  chosen  a  Committee." 

The  passing  of  the  above  vote  was  the  beginning  of  a  contro- 
versy that  lasted  for  fifteen  years.  In  1781,  the  first  meeting- 
house, costing  originally  $64,  had  become  inadequate,  unattrac- 
tive and  offensive  to  the  taste  of  many  of  the  people  of  the  town. 
"What  was  tolerable  under  the  primitive  conditions  of  1773  had 
become,  with  more  prosperous  surroundings,  an  uncomfortable 
and  unsightly  house  of  worship.  Where  shall  the  new  building 
be  located?  was  the  apparent  question  for  discussion,  but  many 
conflicting  interests  soon  made  the  question  a  very  complex  one. 

What  occurred  during  the  intervals  between  the  frequent 
town  meetings  that  took  cognizance  of  the  matter  is  now  only  a 
matter  of  conjecture,  but  the  records  of  the  meetings  show  no 
lack  of  lively  interest  in  the  subject. 

Each  man  had  great  faith  in  his  own  opinions,  was  jealous  of 
his  privileges  and  was  zealous  to  do  his  duty,  as  he  saw  it,  as  a 
payer  of  taxes  for  the  support  of  the  church.  From  fragments 
of  tradition  and  from  the  internal  evidence  of  the  records,  it  is 
plain  that  there  were  two  well-defined  parties  in  the  struggle: 
the  one  progressive  and  openly  active;  the  other  conservative 
but  persistent,  relying  mainly  on  its  weight  for  success.  There 
still  remained,  however,  an  unattached  contingent,  acknowledg- 
ing allegiance  with  neither  side,  but  holding  the  balance  of  power 
in  many  cases  and  making  and  unmaking  town  meeting  verdicts 
with  a  facility  that  was  unhampered  by  consistency. 


Eeligious  Societies  and  Churches.  67 

While  the  first  meeting-house  was  standing  there  seemed  to  be 
little  prospect  for  agreement  on  a  site  for  a  new  one.  For  fourteen 
years  the  conflict  waxed  and  waned  until  patience  was  exhausted. 
Finally,  in  1795,  the  Anglo-Saxon  disposition  to  do  something 
triumphed  and,  under  the  protection  of  dim  moonlight,  Paul 
Smith  Marston,  for  many  years  a  trusted  official  of  the  town, 
assisted  by  his  two  sons,  Caleb  and  Israel,  and  by  John  Fellows, 
Ebenezer  Fellows  and  others,  sawed  off  the  corner  braces  and 
corner  post  tenons  of  the  meeting-house  frame  and  so  weakened 
it  generally  that  it  was  easily  thrown  down  and  destroyed.  Mr. 
Charles  Hilton,  Avho  kept  a  tavern  on  the  present  Charles  A. 
Durgin  place,  gave  a  generous  supper  to  Mr.  Marston  and  his 
associates  on  the  night  the  meeting-house  was  destroyed. 

Similar  action  outside  of  legal  limitations  was  not  unknown 
in  church  circles  in  some  of  the  neighboring  towns.  During  a 
church  controversy  in  Boscawen  over  the  payment  of  the  min- 
ister's tax,  the  meeting-house  at  the  eastern  part  of  the  town 
was  burned  on  February  22,  1798. 

When  the  house  was  torn  down  by  Paul  S.  Marston  and  his 
friends,  the  neighborhood  poet  added  the  following  to  his  list  of 
literary  gems : 

Few  and  short  were  the  prayers  they  said 

Before  going  their  tools  to  borrow; 
They  chopped,  they  split,  they  sawed,  they  cut. 

And  no  church  was  there  on  the  morrow. 

As  Andover  was  now  without  a  meeting-house,  a  decision  about 
the  location  of  the  site  for  the  new  building  became  imperative 
and  an  agreement  was  soon  reached.  The  struggle  over  the  loca- 
tion of  the  new  meeting-house  was  probably  the  most  unfortunate 
event  in  the  history  of  the  town,  for  its  effects  have  been  far- 
reaching,  not  only  in  the  religious  but  in  the  social  and  political 
life  of  the  community. 

At  first  the  contest  was  between  those  who  wanted  a  new  meet- 
ing-house and  those  who  were  satisfied  with  the  old  one.  At 
that  time  the  settlers  were  grouped  mainly  at  three  points  in  the 
town :  first,  in  the  eastern  section  on  the  river  road  and  about 
Chance  Pond;  second,  at  East  Andover,  including  the  districts 
not  far  from  the  old  meeting-house,  and  third,  those  at  the  then 
west  end  of  the  town,  principally  about  the  village  now  known 


68  History  of  Andover, 

as  tlie  "Centre."  Each  firoup  would  have  been  pleased  to  see 
the  new  meeting-house  in  its  own  section.  Any  two  of  the  sec- 
tions could  combine  to  defeat  the  third.  As  the  discussion  con- 
tinued, it  was  proposed  to  build  two  meeting-houses,  one  at  each 
end  of  the  town,  but  that  scheme  lacked  the  necessary  votes.  At 
many  of  the  town  meetings  it  was  not  a  difficult  task  to  settle 
upon  some  location  for  the  new  building,  but  it  was  equally  easy 
at  the  next  meeting,  held  perhaps  in  a  few  days  or  weeks,  to  undo 
all  the  work  of  the  previous  meeting.  For  fourteen  years  this 
struggle  continued,  growing  more  bitter  as  the  years  went  by. 

Upon  the  destruction  of  the  first  meeting-house,  in  1795,  a 
cessation  of  active  hostilities  occurred  for  a  short  time,  but  the 
poison  of  factious  opposition  was  still  working  in  the  church  and 
in  the  town.  Unwillingness  to  pay  the  minister's  tax,  impatience 
with  the  monotony  of  didactic  and  doctrinal  sermons,  an  ill- 
defined  preference  for  the  emotional,  fervid  preaching  of  "ex- 
horters,"  "evangelists,"  and  the  self -trained  ministers  of  the 
new  Freewill  Baptist  denomination,  all  tended  to  the  disorgan- 
ization of  the  first  church,  which  practically  disappeared  after 
the  resignation  of  Mr.  Badcock  in  1809. 

During  the  contest  over  the  location  of  the  new  meeting-house 
the  citizen  began  to  lose  confidence  in  the  character  and  authority 
of  the  church  and  in  the  unselfishness  of  his  neighbors.  In  the 
absence  of  the  conservative  influence  of  the  "settled  minister," 
religious  preaching,  practice  and  experience  ran  wild  for  a  whole 
generation.  Fear  of  Satan,  and  a  frantic  attempt  to  destroy  his 
influence  by  new  religious  organizations  took  the  place  of  a  tru^- 
ful  love  of  God  and  a  dedication  of  individual  strength  and  spirit 
to  a  reasonable  service  to  God  and  humanity. 

The  rapid  multiplication  of  religious  societies  and  the  fre- 
quent reconversion  of  many  people  at  the  constantly  recurring 
revivals  lead,  now,  to  the  conclusion  that  jealous}^  among  the  soci- 
eties and  the  struggle  among  ambitious,  untrained,  sometimes 
ignorant  preachers  for  notoriety,  as  well  as  for  a  long  list  of 
quickened  converts,  tended  not  only  to  weaken  the  churches  and 
the  cause  of  true  religion,  but  to  materially  lower  the  standard 
of  individual  character  in  the  community  at  large.  Traditions 
fortified  by  the  few  available  records  leave  an  unpleasant  im- 
pression of  the  religious  experiences  of  that  epoch,  when  sound 


Eeligious  Societies  and  Churches.  69 

and  emotion  in  the  pulpit  and  apparent  hysteria  in  the  pews 
counted  for  more  than  logical  argument  or  a  vigorous  presenta- 
tion of  religious  or  moral  truth. 

The  effect  of  the  struggle  over  the  location  of  the  new  meeting- 
house has  continually  appeared,  even  down  to  the  present  time, 
in  many  phases  of  social,  ci^-il  and  political  life.  Since  the  divi- 
sion of  the  town  to  form  a  part  of  the  town  of  Franklin  there 
have  been  two  instead  of  three  sections  of  the  town  to  be  con- 
sidered; and  the  mustering  of  the  east  end  against  the  west,  or 
the  west  end  against  the  east,  in  many  matters  that  involve  the 
welfare  of  the  whole  town  is  probably  a  thoughtless  but  neverthe- 
less a  certainly  positive  damage  to  the  whole  community.  A 
little  Christian  charity  and  a  due  consideration  of  the  value  of 
neighborly  love  and  respect  has  already  materially  modified  the 
former  jealousy  and  asperity,  and  it  seems  reasonably  certain 
that  an  honest  study  and  application  of  the  precepts  of  the 
Golden  Kule  will  completely  eradicate  the  taint  of  the  meeting- 
house war  of  more  than  a  centurv^  ago. 

The  brief  records  of  the  town  meetings  concerning  the  selec- 
tion of  a  site  for  the  new  meeting-house  and  other  church  matters 
are  given  below : 

October  15,  1781:  Voted,  "to  build  a  meeting  house  upon  the 
Centre  Square." 

March  18,  1782:  Voted,  "to  raise  60  dollars  to  hire  Preaching 
the  ensuing  year."  Voted,  "to  raise  75  dollars  to  hire  work 
on  the  minister's  lot."  Voted,  "to  remove  the  meeting  house 
out  to  the  Highway  and  repair  it." 

April  15,  1782:  Voted,  "to  remove  the  Meeting  house  out  to  the 
Rode  to  the  corner  of  Mr.  Hilton's  land." 

June  10,  1782:  Voted,  "to  settle  a  Minister  as  soon  as  conven- 
iently may  be."  Voted,  "that  Samuel  Blake,  Capt.  William 
Emery  and  Jonathan  Weare  be  a  Committee  to  hire  Preaching 
the  present  year."  Voted,  "to  set  a  meeting  house  on  the 
Plain  between  the  Pond  and  Mr.  Clough's. " 

July  8,  1782:  Voted,  "to  extend  a  Call  to  Rev.  Josiah  Badcock 
of  Milton  Mass.  to  settle  and  preach  in  Andover. ' '  Voted,  ' '  to 
offer  the  learned  young  gentleman  150  dollars  the  1^'  year 
and  to  add  10  dollars  more  each  year  until  the  salary  should 
amount  to  200  dollars  per  year."     Also  it  was  "voted  to  build 


70  History  of  Andover. 

a  house  for  Mr.  Badcock  as  Big  as  Mr.  Sam'l  Blakes  in  said 
town,  so  far  as  to  put  np  the  frame  and  board  it."  Voted, 
"to  give  the  gentleman  20  cords  of  Avood  yearly."  Voted, 
"to  pay  the  salary  semiannually  and  to  clear  two  acres  of  land 
annually  for  Mr.  Badcock  for  five  years  after  his  ordination 
but  if  he  be  Taken  away  or  Dismissed  within  five  years  then 
to  Clear  no  more."  Voted,  "that  Mr.  J.  Badcock  shall  have 
Liberty  to  be  absent  three  Sabbath  days  in  a  year  yearly." 
Voted,  "to  give  Mr.  Badcock  the  use  of  the  parsonage  in  s'd 
Town  so  long  as  he  is  the  minister  thereof." 

Mr.  Badcock  settled  in  Andover,  September  30,  1782. 
The  following  is  a  copy  of  Mr.  Josiah  Badcock 's  credentials 
as  a  minister: 

Epping,  Oct.  5,  1776. 
This  certifies  whom  it  may  concern  that  Mr.  Josiah  Badcock  a  Gen- 
tleman of  a  Liberal  Education  and  unexceptionable  character  as  far 
as  we  know  (and  we  have  had  acquaintance  with  him  for  divers  years) 
has  offered  himself  to  our  inquiry  as  a  Candidate  for  preaching  the 
Gospel  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  and  exhibited  to  us  a  specimen  of  his 
Gifts  with  which  we  are  well  satisfied  &  think  it  Duty  to  encourage 
him  in  his  Design  nothing  Doubting  of  his  sincere  Desire  to  serve  the 
interest  of  the  Redeemer's  Kingdom.

On  September  16,  1782,  the  town  elected  a  committee  to  invite 
the  churches  in  Danvers,  Mass.,  and  Brentwood,  Epping,  Pem- 
broke, Sanbornton  and  Salisburj^  N.  H.,  to  send  their  ministers 
and  delegates  to  assist  in  the  ordination  of  Mr.  J.  Badcock  on 
October  30,  1782. 

The  ordaining  council  was  entertained  at  the  house  of  Samuel 
Blake,  the  site  of  the  present  W.  S.  ]\Iarstou  house,  and  the  ordi- 
nation exercises  were  held  at  the  same  place.  The  ordination  ser- 
mon was  preached  by  Rev.  Benjamin  "Wadsworth  of  Danvers, 
Mass.,  from  the  text  Isaiah  52  :  7 :  "How  beautiful  upon  the 
mountains  are  the  feet  of  him  that  briugeth  good  tidings,  that 
publisheth  peace,  that  bringeth  good  tidings  of  good,  that  publish- 
eth  salvation ;  that  saith  unto  Zion,  Thy  God  reigneth ! ' '

On  the  day  of  the  ordination  the  First  Congregational  Church 
was  organized.     At  first  it  consisted  of  six  members.     This  num- 
ber slowly  increased  to  thirty ;  then  gradually  diminished  until 
1809,  when  Mr.  Badcock  's  connection  with  the  church  ceased. 
In  1828  only  one  member  of  this  first  church  was  living. 

Unfortunately  the  records  of  this  church  have  been  lost  or  de- 
stroyed. 

The  following  notes  in  i\Ir.  Badcock 's  diary  are  characteristic 
of  the  man  and  his  time : 

July  8,  1782,  "The  people  in  Andover  gave  me  a  call  to  settle 
with  them  in  the  Gospel  ministry." 

October  30,  "Was  ordained  in  Andover." 

November  19,  ' '  Went  to  board  at  ]\Ir.  Nathaniel  Emery 's. ' ' 

July  11,  1783,  "Preached  a  lecture  at  the  river."  This  is  the 
first  notice  of  a  religious  meeting  at  the  river  road. 

August  9,  "A  hard  frost." 

September  14,  "Eben  Scribner's  wife  died  and  on  20'^*  child." 

November  8,  1783,  "My  house  was  raised." 

December  11,  "Thanksgiving.     Remarkably  pleasant." 

November  18,  1784,  "Was  married." 

January  19,  1785,  "Moved  into  Andover." 

April  li,  "Fast  day. 

BILLS  PAID   FOR  ORDINATION  EXPENSES. 

1782.  The  town  paid  Mr.  Samuel  Blake  cost  of  ordination  (in 
part)  £1  Os.  Od. 

1782.  The  toAvn  paid  Capt.  William  Emery  for  certain  ex- 
penses, £2  10s.  Od. 

1782.  The  town  paid  Joseph  Chandler  for  expenses  of  ordina- 
tion, £7  10s.  Od. 

At  that  time  the  ordination  of  a  minister  was  an  impressive 
and  notable  event.  As  far  as  possible  all  the  people  stopped  work 
on  that  day,  joining  in  the  religious  services  and  afterwards  par- 
taking freel}'  of  the  rum  and  roast  beef  generously  provided  for 
all  the  people.  So  far,  no  itemized  account  of  the  food  and  bever- 
ages consumed  on  October  30,  1782,  has  been  found,  but  numerous

traditions  indicate  that  the  quantity  was  sufficient  to  satisfy  not 
only  the  clergy,  but  the  congregation. 

May  29,  1783,  chose  Nathan  Rowe,  Moses  Clough  and  Thomas 
Blake  a  "committee  to  see  that  the  Rev.  Mr.  Badcock's  house  is 
done  according  to  vote  of  s'd  town." 

November  8,  1783,  "The  frame  for  the  parsonage  was  raised 
today."  This  building  was  built  where  Hale  Flanders  now  lives, 
on  Taunton  Hill,  formerly  the  Horace  Clay  place. 

In  1783,  the  town  paid  Captain  AVeare  for  rum  used  at  the 
raising  the  frame  for  the  parsonage,  £1  4s.  Od. ;  also  for  meat  on 
the  same  occasion,  £9  Os.  Od. 

The  timber  for  the  parsonage  was  bought  at  "vendue"  by  the 
town.  Nathan  Rowe,  Simeon  Rollins,  Simeon  Connor,  Theophi- 
lus  Blake,  Paul  Smith  Marston,  Edward  Ladd,  Joseph  Philbrick, 
Josiah  Scribner,  Joseph  Chandler,  William  Morey,  Ebenezer  Til- 
ton,  Thomas  Blake  and  Joseph  Fellows  "bid  off"  and  furnished 
the  lumber.  Jonathan  Cilley  bid  off  the  framing  for  £4  Is.  The 
frame  was  30  x  25  and  fifteen  feet  high  below  the  eaves.  The 
house  was  finished  in  1784. 

March  15,  1784,  "Voted  to  have  the  meeting  13  Sabbaths  the 
south  side  of  the  Pond. ' '     (Now  Webster  Lake. ) 

September  15,  1788,  "Voted  to  build  a  meeting  house  on  the 
plains  near  the  pond. ' ' 

May  10,  1790,  ' '  Voted  to  reconsider  the  vote  passed  at  the  last 
annual  meeting  to  build  the  meeting  house  on  the  Plains  near  the 
Pond.  Voted  to  build  a  meeting  house  on  the  Hill  in  ]\Ir.  Hil- 
ton's lot." 

November  14,  1791,  "Voted  to  build  the  meeting  house  on  the 
hill  by  Capt.  Bachelders.     Voted  to  put  up  the  frame  by  a  tax. ' ' 

"William  Blake,  Joseph  Philbrick,  Peter  Weare,  Lieut.  John 
Rowe  and  Jonathan  Cilley  chosen  a  Committee  to  build  s  'd  meet- 
ing house  and  settle  with  Capt.  Bachelder  for  the  land. ' '  When 
the  deed  was  made  out  for  the  land,  ]\Irs.  Bachelder  refused  to 
sign  it  because  she  understood  that  there  would  have  to  be  a 
"bar"  in  her  house  to  furnish  liquors  for  the  accommodation  of 
the  ministers  and  church  goers  and  she  could  not  approve  such 
customs. 

November  22,  1791,  "Voted  to  choose  a  Committee  out  of  town 
to  fix   a  place  to  build  a  meeting  house.     Col.  Gerrish,   Capt.

"Wilder  and  Ens.  Moses  Garland  chosen  for  the  Committee.  Jon- 
athan Fifield  chosen,  provided  one  of  the  other  should  fail. ' ' 

At  a  meeting  of  the  town  on  December  1,  1791,  the  report  of  the 
above  committee  was  read,  recommending  that  the  meeting  house 
be  "located  near  Mr.  Nathan  Rowe's."  Whereupon  the  town 
voted  "not  to  build  said  meeting  house  at  the  place  fixed  by  said 
Committee. ' ' 

"Voted  to  abate  Benj.  Celley's  Jr.  Minister  Rate  in  the  year 
1789." 

August  27,  1792,  the  town  "voted  to  clear  Sam'.  Rano  from 
paying  Minister  Rate." 

On  March  18,  1793,  voted  to  build  two  meeting-houses,  one  in 
the  east  and  one  in  the  w^est  part  of  the  town.  On  April  1  this 
vote  was  reconsidered  and  it  was  voted  that  the  people  in  the  west 
part  of  the  town  should  have  "their  proportion  of  the  preaching 
at  the  house  of  John  Tirrill  the  present  year." 

Also,  "Voted  that  the  River  people  (so-called  shall  have  their 
proportion  of  the  Preaching  at  the  East  end  of  the  Town." 

The  excitement  over  the  location  of  the  new  meeting-house  re- 
sulted in  a  call  for  a  town  meeting  on  October  10,  1796,  to  see  if 
the  town  would  vote  ' '  to  divide  the  town  crosswise  in  the  middle. ' ' 
The  record  shows  that  "the  article  was  passed  in  the  negative." 

When  the  frame  of  the  new  church  was  all  ready  for  raising, 
on  May  3,  1796,  the  pastor,  Mr.  Badcock,  suggested  the  propriety 
of  introducing  a  prayer  at  that  stage  of  the  proceedings.  The 
foreman  reminded  him  that  there  was  little  time  to  spare,  that  the 
prayer  should  be  short. 

It  was  arranged  that  the  foreman  should  give  the  signal  for 
the  close  of  the  prayer,  which  he  did  by  a  crashing  blow  on  a 
stick  of  timber  near  the  parson,  causing  him  to  jump  and  ab- 
ruptly close  the  service  in  the  middle  of  one  of  his  most  ornate 
periods. 

The  new  building  was  raised  on  the  site  of  the  present  North 
Church  and  was  dedicated  January  5,  1797.  It  was  constructed 
on  the  general  plan  of  country  meeting-houses  of  that  period  (see 
page  74)  and  all  the  work  was  well  done.  The  members  of  the 
building  committee  were :  William  Blake,  Joseph  Philbrick,  Peter 
Weare,  John  Rowe  and  Jonathan  Cilley.  The  building  cost 
$2,200  and  it  is  presumed  that  the  pews  were  sold  to  help  pay 
the  bills,  but  no  record  of  the  sale  has  been  found.

76  History  of  Andover. 

The  granite  underpinning  of  the  new  building  came  from  a 
large  boulder  on  the  farm  of  Capt.  Josiah  Bachelder,  now  the 
home  of  ex-Gov.  N.  J.  Bachelder. 

About  1795  great  opposition  to  the  payment  of  the  ''minister 
tax"  arose  and  so  great  was  the  influence  of  the  independent 
citizens  that  payment  was  not  rigorously  enforced.  In  most 
«ases  where  vigorous  protest  was  made  the  town  voted  to  remit 
the  tax.  An  article  in  the  warrant  for  the  town  meeting  of 
October  21,  1796,  was  as  follows:  "To  see  if  the  Congregational 
Society  will  vote  for  the  collector  to  make  distress  for  the  minis- 
ter tax  on  all  or  any  of  those  who  refuse  to  pay  it  or  to  give  in 
any  part  of  it."  It  does  not  appear  that  this  general  article  was 
acted  upon.  It  is  probable  that  the  town  preferred  to  deal  with 
each  case  separately. 

Grave  dissensions,  from  various  causes,  many  of  them  growing 
out  of  the  unpleasant  discussions  regarding  the  location  of  the 
new  meeting-house,  had  weakened  the  strength  of  the  church  and 
made  the  church  life  and  the  relations  between  the  pastor  and 
the  people  very  unsatisfactory,  and  in  1809  Mr.  Badcock  pro- 
posed to  resign  his  position  as  preacher. 

In  that  year  the  town  chose  Lieut.  William  Blake,  Capt.  TVil- 
lard  Emery  and  Ensig-n  Samuel  Graves  a  committee  to  arrange 
for  the  dissolution  of  the  official  connection  of  Mr.  Badcock  with 
the  town  as  its  minister. 

At  the  mutual  request  of  pastor  and  people  an  ecclesiastical 
council,  co7nposed  of  ministers  and  delegates  from  the  church  in 
Salisbury,  the  second  church  in  Boscawen,  the  church  in  San- 
bornton  and  delegates  from  the  first  church  in  Boscawen,  con- 
vened at  the  house  of  Charles  Hilton  on  July  13,  1809,  and  dis- 
solved the  connection  of  Mr.  Badcock  with  the  society  and  with 
the  town  as  a  pastor,  leaving  the  inhabitants,  as  the  council  ex- 
pressed it,  ' '  as  sheep  without  a  shepherd. ' ' 

Regarding  Mr.  Badcock,  the  council  declared : 

We  trust  that  his  useful  labors  will  not  be  suspended  as  we  view 
Tiim  in  good  standing  to  be  employed  as  a  minister  of  the  gospel 
"Wherever  he  may  have  opportunity  to  labor  in  the  vineyard  of  our 
iiord.

With  the  resignation  of  Mr.  Badcock  was  concluded  the  rigid 
theological  and  dogmatic  preaching  so  prevalent  in  the  eighteenth 
century.  Intimate  acquaintance  with  that  kind  of  teaching  had 
destroyed  most  of  the  enthusiasm  essential  to  healthy  aspirations^ 
and  the  membership  of  this  church  decreased  as  the  years  hurried 
on.  The  benumbing  effect  of  such  influences  was  soon  banished 
by  the  rousing,  fiery  appeals,  and  even  eloquence,  of  the  young, 
enthusiastic  evangelists  and  exhorters  who  at  the  beginning  of  the 
century  thronged  in  the  eastern  and  central  sections  of  the 
town,  preaching  with  a  zeal  and  fervor  that  swept  old  and  young 
alike  into  the  excitement  of  "revivals"  where,  sometimes,  sound 
reason  lost  control. 

The  pendulum  swung  to  the  other  extreme. 

That  Mr.  Badcock  was  not  a  zealous  propagandist  may  be  in- 
ferred from  the  fact  that  he  remained  in  town  at  his  home,  busy 
with  his  farm,  looking  closely  after  his  financial  interests.  In- 
tellectually, he  undoubtedly  stood  among  the  first  citizens  of  the 
town;  and  in  his  civic  and  social  rectitude  was  a  model  for  his 
fellow-townsmen. 

From  the  following  paper  it  is  shown  that  the  minister  on  an 
annual  salary,  according  to  the  original  agreement,  of  $200  paid  a 
good  price  for  a  pew  in  his  own  church : 

This  may  certify  whom  it  may  concern  that  we  the  undersigned  a 
committee  to  build  a  meeting  house  in  this  town,  For  and  in  considera- 
tion of  Fifty  five  dollars  paid  by  Rev.  Josiah  Badcock  have  given 
granted  &  sold  a  pew  in  the  meeting  house  in  s'd  Town  being  the  front 
floor  pew  at  the  right  hand  of  the  pulpit  stairs  to  have  and  to  hold  s'<i 
pew  with  its  privileges  forever  and  we  the  undersigned  will  warrant 
and  defend  the  same  against  the  claim  of  any  person  or  persons  whom- 
soever.

MINISTER  AND  PARSONAGE  LOTS. 

In  the  original  grant  of  the  town  provision  was  made  for  the 
support  of  the  minister,  in  the  following  terms : 

That  one  of  the  said  shares  be  for  the  first  minister  of  the  Gospel 
who  shall  be  settled  on  the  said  Land  &  Continue  there  during  his  life 
or  until  he  shall  be  Regularly  Dismissed.     To  hold  to  him  his  heirs  &

assigns,  and  one  other  of  the  said  shares  to  be  for  &  towards  the  sup- 
port of  the  Gospel  Ministry  there  forever, — and  the  first  hundred  acre 
lots  belonging  to  these  two  shares  shall  be  laid  out  as  near  the  place 
where  the  Meeting  house  shall  be  built  as  m:iy  Conveniently  be  done, 
and  not  be  drawn  for  as  the  other  lots,  that  there  be  ten  acres  of  land 
left  and  Reserved  forever  in  some  Convenient  Place  within  said  Bound- 
aries for  Building  a  Meeting  house  &  School  House  upon  &  for  a  Train- 
ing Field. 

Lots  numbered  19  W  in  first  range,  19  E  in  first  range  and  19 
in  tliird  range,  were  selected  for  the  minister,  and  were  after- 
Avards  known  as  the  minister  lots. 

Two  lots  in  the  fourth  range,  Nos.  62  W  and  62  E,  and  one 
lot,  No.  62,  in  the  second  range,  were  known  as  the  parsonage 
lots. 

On  June  14,  1810,  the  town  voted  to  sell  the  parsonage  lots. 
The  sale  of  these  lots  and  of  one  school  lot,  No.  17,  was  effected 
on  June  19,  1810,  as  shown  by  the  following  entry  in  the  town 
records.  Volume  II,  page  141. 

Vendue  held  at  the  meeting  house  in  Andover  on  the  19th  of  June 
1810. 

1st.    Set  up  School  Lot  No.  17  E,  in  1st.  Range,  100  Acres. — 

Struck  off  to  Joseph  Fellows  3d.  at  $190.00 

Capt.  Caleb  Marston  &  Capt.  William  Emery  his  Bonds  men. 
2(i.     Set  up  Parsonage  Lot  No.  62  in  4th.  Range,  80  Acres, — 

Struck  off  to  Philip  Cilley  at  $190.00. 

Jonathan  Keniston  his  Bondsman. 
3<i.     Set  up  Parsonage  Lot  No.  62  in  the  4th.  Range. 

Struck  off  to  Moses  Fuller  at  $500.00. 

Stephen  Fellows  his  Bondsman. 
4th.  Set  up  Parsonage  Lot  No.  62  in  2d.  Range 

Struck  off  to  Elijah  Hilton  at  $917.00. 

Charles    Hilton,    Capt.    Willard    Emery    &    Anthony    Emery    his 
Bonds  men. 

The  above  sums  derived  from  the  sale  of  the  parsonage  lots  con- 
stituted the  parsonage  fund  of  $1,607.  This  principal  was 
kept  intact  and  only  the  income  used  until  the  town  voted  to 
absorb  it. 

At  first  an  attempt  was  made  to  divide  the  income  from  this 
fund  among  the  various  religious  societies  according  to  their  rel- 
ative membership,  but,  as  at  some  periods,  societies  were  hur- 
riedly formed  and  almost  as  quickly  disbanded,  the  problem  of 
distribution  became  very  complex  and  unsatisfactory. 


Religious  Societies  and  Churches.  79 

On  March  10,  1829,  "Voted  that  the  town  collect  the  parsonage 
money  as  soon  as  practicable  and  pay  the  debts  of  the  town  and 
hold  themselves  accountable  to  the  several  Religious  societies  in 
Andover  for  the  same. ' ' 

March  8,  1831,  "Voted  to  appropriate  the  parsonage  fund  both 
principal  and  interest  for  the  use  and  benefit  of  the  town. ' ' 

And  the  "parsonage  fund"  disappeared. 

For  a  few  years  after  the  resignation  of  Mr.  Badcock  there  was 
occasional  preaching  and  the  form  of  a  Congregational  Society 
was  feebly  maintained.  On  May  5,  1809,  "Lt.  Moses  Clough, 
Joseph  Brown  Jr.  and  Ephraim  Eastman  chosen  a  Committee  to 
see  what  there  is  due  from  the  town  to  Mr.  Badcock."  On  May 
12,  1815,  the  town  paid  Mr.  Badcock  $170.58,  the  balance  due  him 
at  the  time  of  his  resignation,  in  1809. 

For  several  years  prior  to  1829  the  very  few  Congregational- 
ists  joined  with  representatives  of  other  denominations  under 
the  name  of  the  "Union  Religious  Society,"  to  secure  preaching 
a  part  of  the  time. 

A  so-called  "First  Congregational  Society"  in  Andover  was 
organized  April  14,  1820.  Dr.  Silas  Merrill  was  moderator  and 
Capt.  Josiah  Evans,  David  Buswell,  Dr.  Silas  Merrill,  Lieut. 
Moses  Brown  and  Capt.  John  Mayo,  w^re  the  first  directors. 
Benjamin  ]\I.  Tyler  was  chosen  treasurer  and  Enoch  Merrill, 
clerk. 

This  organization  continued  until  1825,  having  provided  some 
Congregational  preaching  during  its  existence.  The  last  re- 
corded meeting  occurred  March  7,  1825. 

The  second  association,  called  the  "First  Congregational  So- 
ciety in  Andover,"  was  formed  October  13,  1828,  and  a  constitu- 
tion was  adopted.  The  object  of  the  society  was  declared  to  be 
' '  for  the  furtherance  of  good  order,  the  diffusion  of  useful  knowl- 
edge and  the  promotion  of  morality  and  religion." 

Mr.  Samuel  Kingsbury  came  to  Andover  September  24,  1828. 
In  1828  a  committee  from  the  above  society,  consisting  of  Dr. 
Silas  Merrill,  Josiah  Badcock,  Esq.,  and  Capt.  Enoch  Merrill, 
invited  Mr.  Kingsbury,  then  a  licensed  preacher,  to  become  the 
pastor  of  the  new  church.  He  accepted,  and  on  January  14, 
1829,  he  was  ordained  and  the  church  was  organized  the  same  day. 

Mr.  Kingsbury  married,  December  16,  1829,  Mary,  daughter 
of  Rev.  Josiah  Badcock.

Mr.  Kinpsbury  was  engaged  as  a  pastor  for  five  years,  but  in 
Februar}^,  1831,  the  society  asked  for  release  from  its  obligation 
in  the  contract.  This  was  granted  without  reluctance,  as  he  had 
not  been  supported  according  to  agreement  and  expectation. 
One  hundred  and  twenty  dollars  w^as  due  him  at  that  time.  On 
closing  his  relations  with  the  church  he  expressed  the  hope  "that 
ere  long  a  Kind  Providence  wall  send  you  a  minister  who  shall 
have  prudence  and  wisdom  through  Divine  grace  to  unite  your 
hearts  in  the  faith  and  hope  of  the  gospel."

82  History  of  Andovek. 

In  1829  Mr.  Kingsbury  reported  to  the  New  Hampshire  Mis- 
sionary Society  that  "in  1828  only  5  religious  papers  were  taken 
in  Town."  "Four  of  these  were  Methodist  and  one  was  Chris- 
tian." "At  present  we  are  wrapped  in  the  broad  mantle  of  stu- 
pidity." And  this  was  only  about  seven  months  after  his  church 
was  organized.  He  further  wrote,  "A  weekly  church  prayer 
meeting  has  been  established  but  I  can  hardly  say  that  it  has  been 
attended. ' ' 

After  the  retirement  of  Mr.  Kingsbury  very  little  Congrega- 
tional preaching  was  heard  in  East  Andover :  it  occurred,  how- 
ever, occasionally,  in  the  Free  Baptist  Church,  from  1839  to  1868. 

In  1869  Rev.  Howard  Moody  became  the  pastor  of  the  East 
Andover  Congregational  Church,  remaining  there  until  his  death, 
April  20,  1885.     The  pastors  since  that  time  have  been  : 

Rev.  Frederick  G.  Chester,  from  January  1,  1885,  to  January 
1,  1887. 

Rev.  Elisha  Ayers  Keep,  during  1887. 

Rev.  George  F.  Kenngott,  from  January,  1888,  to  January  6, 
1889. 

Rev.  Frederick  Brooks  Noyes,  from  January  13  to  October  6, 
1889. 

Various  students  from  Andover,  Mass.,  preached  until  April 
1,  1890. 

Rev.  Edwin  J.  Aiken,  from  April  1  to  November  1,  1890. 

Rev.  N.  F.  Carter,  from  December,  1890,  to  May  1,  1891. 

Rev.  Thomas  J.  Lewis,  from  May  1,  1891,  to  June  2-1,  1894. 

Rev.  John  Thorpe,  from  September  1,  1894,  to  March  4,  1899. 
Installed  October  30,  1894. 

Rev.  Thomas  J.  Lewis,  from  March,  1899,  to  November  28, 
1903. 

Rev.  Ralza  E.  Andrews,  from  December,  1903. 

The  Congregational  Society  at  Andover  Centre  was  first  or- 
ganized at  the  meeting-house  in  that  village,  June  25,  1841. 
The  ministers  present  composing  the  council  were : 

Rev.  Benjamin  Foster,  Salisbury. 
Rev.  Isaac  Knight,  Franklin. 
Rev.  Nathaniel  Sumner,  Hill. 

Rev.  B.  P.  Stone,  secretary  New  Hampshire  Missionary  So- 
ciety. 


Religious  Societies  and  Churches.  83 

This  society  occupied  the  meeting-house  jointly  with  other 
denominations. 

The  original  members  of  this  church  were : 

Brown,  Elizabeth  Keniston,  Asenath 

Buck,  Ammi  Keniston,  Philip 

Buck,  Jane  A.  Mitchell,  Betsey 

Cilley,  Susan  G.  Moulton,  Susan 

Eastman,  Isaac  R.  Sargent,  Moses 

Eastman,  Jemima  Sargent,  Sarah 
Elkins,  Lydia 
Philip  Keniston  was  chosen  clerk. 

In  1843  Rev.  Nathan  Howard  was  ordained  pastor  of  the 
churches  at  Andover  Centre  and  Wilmot,  and  preached  half  of 
the  time  in  each  town  until  1849,  when  he  devoted  his  whole  time 
to  the  church  at  the  Centre  for  one  year.  In  1850  the  Congrega- 
tional Society  at  the  Centre  united  with  other  denominations  and 
employed  Rev.  Reuben  Kimball  as  pastor  for  two  years.  In 
1853  Mr.  Howard  returned  to  the  Centre  Church  and  served  as 
pastor  until  the  close  of  1854. 

The  second  Congregational  Church  to  be  formed  at  Andover 
Centre  was  organized  November  16,  1880,  and  took  the  name  of 
"The  Orthodox  Congregational  Church  of  Andover  Centre." 
The  services  were  conducted  as  follows : 

Reading  of  the  Scriptures  Rev.  W.  A.  Hadley 

Sermon  Rev.  C.  E.  Harrington 

Reading  of  articles  of  Faith  and  Covenant  Rev.  H.  P.  Lamprey 

Prayer  of  recognition  and  Consecration                        Rev.  E.  H.  Greeley 

Right  hand  of  Fellowship  Rev.  Howard  Moody 

Address  to  the  Church  Rev.  J.  M.  Button 

Ordaining  of  Deacons  Rev.  F.  D.  Ayer 

The  other  ministers  of  the  council  were  Rev.  S.  H.  Barnum, 
Rev.  Caleb  B.  Tracy  and  Rev.  Edward  Buxton. 

Rev.  Howard  ]\Ioody  served  as  acting  pastor. 

In  giving  reasons  for  the  formation  of  this  church  Rev.  How- 
ard JNIoody  wrote  on  December  2,  1880 : 

The  Congregational  Church  of  1841  by  force  of  circumstances  had  be- 
come limited  to  Bast  Andover  and  affords  church  accommodations  to 
about  one  third  of  the  town  only. 


84  PIlSTORY   OF   AnDOVER. 

Andover  Centre  being  the  Centre  of  two  thirds  of  the  town  would 
afford  Church  accommodiitions  for  that  portion  of  the  town. 

There  was  no  organized  Evangelical  Church  of  any  denomination  at 
the  Centre  or  any  other  part  except  at  E.  Andover 

The  Evangelical  Christians  at  the  Centre,  though  of  four  different 
denominations,  found  upon  examination  of  the  Principles,  Doctrines  and 
Usages  of  Congregational  Churches  that  they  could  cheerfully  and  har- 
moniously unite  in  the  formation  of  a  Congregational  Church. 

Being  a  small  Church  they  felt  unable  to  sustain  a  minister  and 
were  therefore  willing  to  unite  with  the  Church  at  East  Andover  in  the 
support  of  one  man  whose  labors  will  be  divided  between  them. 

The  service  of  one  minister  for  the  two  churches  still  continues. 
The  original  members  of  the  church  were  as  below : 

William  A.  "Woodbury.

SUNDAY  SCHOOLS. 

Soon  after  the  formation  of  the  Congregational  society  in  Oc- 
tober, 1828,  a  "Sabbath"  school,  the  first  in  town,  was  formed 
by  ]\Iiss  j\Iary  Badcock,  assisted  by  two  young  friends  whose 
names  are  not  now  known.  The  school  consisted  of  forty  pupils, 
arranged  in  two  classes.  In  1829,  "Sabbath"  schools  were  estab- 
lished in  six  districts,  with  between  seventy  and  eighty  scholars 
in  all. 

In  1829,  it  was  reported  to  the  New  Hampshire  Missionary"  So- 
ciety that  "Library  books  are  furnished  to  most  of  the  scholars. 
There  is  still  much  indifference  and  much  prejudice  and  opposi- 
tion to  the  Sabbath  School  interest."  Bible  classes  were  formed 
in  several  neighborhoods  by  Rev.  Mr.  Kingsbury  in  1829. 

THE  FREEWILL  BAPTIST  CHURCH. 

The  first  Freewill  Baptist  Church  in  New  Hampshire  was  or- 
ganized in  New  Durham,  June  30,  1780.  This  was  the  first 
church  ever  organized  under  that  name,  and  consisted  of  seven 
members,  four  men  and  three  women.  In  1800  there  were  about 
fifteen  churches  of  that  denomination  in  New  Hampshire. 

In  1801  or  1802  a  "Monthly  Meeting"  connected  with  the 
church  in  Gilford,  was  established  in  Andover.  The  meeting  for 
organization  was  held  at  the  house  of  Joseph  Brown,  Sr.,  on  the 
first  fourth  day  of  the  sixth  month  (June  1)  in  1803.  Jolm 
Bailey  was  chosen  6lerk. 


86  History  of  Andover, 

Voted  that  it  was  "expedient  to  have  a  record  book  and  that 
brother  William  True  procure  the  same."  The  next  meeting  was 
"at  brother  Elijah  Watson's  and  several  offered  themselves  for 
baptism  and  went  forward."  Elder  Elijah  Watson  was  or- 
dained as  pastor  of  this  church,  or  society,  June  23,  1803. 

The  meetings  were  generally  held  on  the  first  fourth  day 
(Wednesday)  of  each  month. 

In  the  record  of  the  meeting  of  the  eighth  month  we  read: 
"find  union,  harmony  and  determination.  Glory,  glory,  glory 
to  God,  there  has  been  eight  added  by  baptism  since  our  last 
meeting  and  our  number  is  forty  and  one." 

At  a  meeting  in  March,  1804:  "took  up  a  labor  with  brother 
Joseph  Woodbury.  Chose  Kev.  Elijah  Watson  to  write  the  let- 
ter of  admonition."  Another  letter  was  written  in  April.  In 
]\Iay  it  was  voted  to  reject  Woodbury ;  but  finally  the  Quarterly 
Meeting  was  requested  to  send  a  letter  of  admonition.  In  com- 
pliance with  this  request  a  letter  signed  by  William  Dana,  Jr., 
and  Benjamin  Randel  was  sent  to  Woodbury  and  he  found  him- 
self "disowned  and  rejected  as  a  disorderly  walker." 

In  180-i  the  meeting  was  divided  into  classes,  and  "leaders" 
were  appointed. 

In  August  "set  off  a  class  at  New  Chester." 

In  September  "chose  Bro.  Pevere  class  leader  at  Beech  hill; 
Bro.  Brown  at  the  river  and  Bro.  True  at  New  Chester. ' ' 

In  October  "chose  Bros.  Brown  and  Sa^wer  class  leaders  at 
Beech  hill ;  Bros.  Sawyer  and  Pevere  at  the  river  and  Bros.  Hun- 
kins  and  True  at  New  Chester. ' ' 

In  October,  1804,  the  incorporation  of  the  meeting  or  society 
was  proposed  and  favored  by  Elijah  Watson  and  James  Tucker, 
but  a  considerable  number  of  members  opposed  it  and  the  plan 
was  abandoned. 

November,  1804,  "Found  difficulties  between  the  meeting  and 
brother  Watson  and  agreed  to  send  for  elders  Richard  Martin 
and  Joseph  Young  to  adjust  it." 

December,  1804,  "Brother  Watson  manifested  that  he  felt  to 
be  out  one  side. ' ' 

jMarch,  1805,  "After  a  tedious  labor  the  Council  being  present 
approved  the  proceedings  of  the  church  with  brother  Watson  and 
he  made  confession  and  we  hope  all  difficulties  are  at  an  end." 
"A  dark  time  with  us  and  the  ways  of  Sion  mourn."

April,  1806,  "A  letter  of  admonition  was  written  to  sister  Abi- 
gail Hilliard  for  neglecting  to  meet  with  the  brethren  and  sisters 
Avhen  she  had  opportunity." 

May,  1808,  "Concluded  it  fit  to  request  liberty  for  the  Quar- 
terly Meeting  to  sit  in  the  Meeting  house" 

Voted:  "to  provide  half  a  load  of  hay  at  the  meeting  house  for 
horses. ' ' 

It  was  expected  that  Elder  Benjamin  Randel,  the  founder  of 
these  meetings,  would  be  present  at  the  quarterly  meeting,  but  ill 
health  preventing,  he  sent  a  letter  in  which  he  denounced  the  doe- 
trine  of  the  "annihilation  of  the  wicked,"  and  declared  that  be- 
lievers in  that  idea  should  not  be  fellowshipped.  (Elder  Benja- 
min Randel  died  October  22,  1808,  aged  fifty-nine  years,  seven 
months  and  twenty-six  days.) 

January  -4,  1809,  "]Met  at  Brother  James  Tucker's  and  a  pow- 
erful time  such  as  we  have  not  had  for  some  time  and  all  trials 
fled." 

May  3,  1809,  "the  power  of  God  came  down  and  a  wonderful 
travil  for  backsliders, — two  came  forward  and  confessed,  and 
three  or  four  fell  on  the  floor  and  lay  more  than  half  an  hour  in 
travil." 

November  7,  1810,  "Met  and  found  Frances  Brown  and  Lucy 
Tucker  still  obstinate. — voted  to  reject  them  from  our  faith  and 
fellowship  and  note  them  as  brawlers  and  contentious  persons. 

In  January,  1811,  it  was  proposed  to  dissolve  the  quarterly 
meeting,  but  the  Andover  monthly  meeting  voted  unanimously 
for  its  continuation. 

On  several  occasions  in  the  history  of  this  organization  various 
persons  were  publicly  voted  to  be  "  disorderly  walkers. ' ' 

The  names  of  those  who,  at  the  time  of  the  organization  in  1803, 
or  soon  after,  became  members  of  the  Andover  "Monthlj^  Meet- 
ing," are  given  below:

recently  "converted,"  begun  the  meeting  as  a  prayer  meeting- 
and  continued  it  without  intermission  "until  sundown."  All  of 
these  men  afterwards  became  prominent  ministers  of  the  gospel. 

On  July  1,  1811,  the  Andover  monthly  meeting  met  at  the 
meeting-house  and  voted  that  "for  the  future  the  monthly  meet- 
ings shall  be  wholly  for  worship  and  no  other  business."  Pre- 
vious to  this  time  the  meetings  had  been  religious,  social  and  busi- 
ness gatherings. 

In  the  spring  of  1813  the  society  or  church  voted  to  "request 
Elder  Peter  Clark  to  labor  with  the  people  of  Andover  half  the 
time  the  season  coming." 

Of  the  meeting  of  September  18,  1813,  it  is  recorded:  "had 
a  wonderful  heavenly,  powerful,  refreshing  time,  and  the  Lord 
owned  us  by  filling  our  Souls  with  Joy  and  gladness.     Amen." 

On  September  20,  1814,  James  Tucker  was  chosen  "Ruling  El- 
der." In  September,  1815,  "the  church  is  satisfied  that  it  is  the 
lot  of  brother  Tucker  to  stand  as  Ruling  Elder. ' ' 

The  following  extract  from  the  town  records  relates  to  a  nota- 
ble incident  in  the  religious  history  of  the  town : 

This  may  certify  to  whom  it  may  concern  that  this  day  William  True 
Jr.  and  Nehemiah  D.  Sleeper  both  of  Andover  in  the  County  of  Hills- 
borough and  State  of  New  Hampshire  were  ordained  and  set  apart  to 
the  work  of  the  Ministry  at  the  meeting  house  in  this  town  with  fast- 
ing, prayer  and  the  laying  on  of  the  hands  of  the  undersigned:  — 
William   Blasdell  Elijah    Shaw    Jr. 

Peter  Clark  Benjamin    Calley 

John  Knowles  John    Sweet 

Noah  Piper 
Andover  June  19,  1817 
The  above  is  recorded  by  the  request  of  the  aforesaid  Elders. 

Attest,     Rob't  Barber,  Town  Clerk. 

On  July  23,  1817,  the  monthly  meeting  convened  again  in  the 
meeting-house. 

Troubles  in  the  society  or  church  became  frequent,  and  the  in- 
terest so  waned  that  no  more  meetings  are  recorded  until  Sep- 
tember 4,  1819. 

A  lack  of  unity  and  various  other  disorders  had  already  de- 
stroyed the  vitality  and  the  organization  of  the  "meeting"  or 
church.

the  christian  baptist  church. 

On  September  4,  1819,  the  Christian  Baptist  Church  was  or- 
ganized. John  Colby,  Stephen  Sleeper,  Isaac  Heath,  Person 
Howe,  Peter  Young,  Nehemiali  D.  Sleeper  and  several  others, 
who  afterwards  withdrew  or  whose  names  are  not  now  known, 
were  the  origninal  members. 

The  record  reads:  "these  names  are  all  that  started  at  first 
except  some  that  with  drew,  and  some  Sisters." 

The  members  of  this  organization  called  themselves  simply 
"Christians." 

THEIR  DECLARATION  OP  FAITH. 

We,  whose  names  are  underwritten,  taking  into  consideration  the 
situation  of  the  people  of  God  in  this  place  do  believe  that  it  is  for  the 
glory  of  God  that  they  should  be  united;  therefore,  we  do  agree  to 
unite  together  as  a  Church  of  God  and  take  his  word  as  the  only  rule 
of  faith  and  practice,  and  to  watch  over  each  other  for  good  and  deal 
with  each  other  as  the  word  of  God  directs: — May  God  give  us  grace 
to  live  to  his  glory  and  at  last  to  be  found  in  his  kingdom. 

Stephen  Sleeper,  Joseph  Fellows,  Nathan  Woodbury  and 
Caleb  Robie  were  the  first  deacons. 

On  February  9,  1820,  Stephen  Sleeper  was  elected  the  first 
clerk  of  the  church.  During  April  and  May,  in  1820,  the  meet- 
ings were  held  in  the  meeting-house  and  called  "conference 
meetings."  Soon  after  the  church  was  formed  Elder  Peter 
Young  settled  in  town  and  preached  for  this  church  several 
years. 

In  1820  large  additions  to  the  membership  of  the  church  fol- 
lowed a  notable  revival  of  religious  interest  in  the  town.  This 
was  generally  known  as  the  ' '  great  revival. ' '  The  list  of  church 
members  in  1820  is  as  given  below :

In  April,  1821,  the  record  reads,  "the  brethren  and  sisters 
came  together  like  clouds  full  of  rane. " 

Subsequently  the  following  persons  became  members  of  this, 
church :

In  addition  to  the  above  lists  there  were  fourteen  members 
residing  in  Boscawen  and  one  in  New  Chester. 

At  a  meeting  on  February  9,  1820,  Stephen  Sleeper  was  chosen 
clerk.  At  the  meeting  of  December,  1821,  the  society  recog- 
nized its  ''duty  to  give  brother  Asa  C.  Morrison  a  Recommend  or 
Credential  to  preach  the  gospel  of  peas  to  a  dying  world. ' ' 

May  22,  1822,  "Chose  Jonathan  Cilley,  Clerk  and  Joseph  Fel- 
lows, Deacon." 

A  portion  of  the  record  for  May,  1826,  reads,  the  members 
"met  in  conference,  had  a  good  time  and  parted  in  peace." 

"In  1822  the  membership  w^as  107." 

The  religious  interest  Avas  strongly  stimulated  at  this  time  by 
frequent  meetings  at  private  houses.  The  houses  generally  of- 
fered for  such  gatherings  were  those  of 

Dea.  Joseph  Fellows,  Willard  Emery,  Sr.,  Benjamin  Scribner 
and  Ichabod  Robie,  at  East  Andover. 

Jonathan  Cilley,  at  Boston  Hill. 

Jonathan  Brown,  at  Beech  Hill. 

Moses  Tucker,  at  Little  Plain. 

Simeon  Rollins,  at  Flag  Hole. 

These  meetings  were  generally  appointed  for  "early  candle 
light,  the  Lord  willing." 

At  a  meeting  on  May  9,  1827,  at  the  house  of  ]\Ioses  Tucker, 
the  church  "manifested  a  desire  that  things  should  be  set  in 
order. ' '

The  last  record  in  the  church  book  is  of  a  "conference  at 
brother  Moses  Tucker's,"  December  12,  1827. 

On  account  of  various  internal  dissensions,  the  Christian  Bap- 
tist Church  suffered  a  gradual  disintegration  and  from  the  re- 
mains there  arose  two  new  organizations,  known  as  the  Freewill 
Baptist  Church  and  the  Christian  Church. 


UG  History  op  Andover. 

THE    FREEWILL   BAPTIST    CHURCH. 

This  church  was  organized  at  a  meeting  held  at  the  house  of 
Moses  Tucker  on  January  7,  1830.  Elder  Elijah  Watson  and 
Elder  Samuel  Bobbins  attended.  James  Tucker,  James  Sever- 
ance and  Joseph  Fellows  were  chosen  deacons,  and  James  Bailey- 
was  elected  clerk. 

The  original  members  of  this  church  were : 

Bailey,  James  Fuller,  ]\Ioses 

Cilley,  Betsey  Hilton,  Deborah 

Cilley,  Dearborn  Hilton,  Hannah 

Cilley,  Jonathan  Robie,  Paine  R. 

Cilley,  Sally  Rollins,  Betsey

Emery,  Ruth  Tucker,  Mary 

Emery,  Sarah  Tucker,  Moses 

Emery,  William  Weare,  John  G. 

Fellows,  Huldah  Weare,  Polly 
Fellows,  Joseph 

During  the  year  1830  the  following  persons  became  members 
of  the  church : 

Bachelder,  Josiah  Fuller,  Susanna 

Bailey,  Sarah  Robie,  Susan 

Buzzell,  Ruth  Rollins,  Simeon 

Emery,   Dolly  Severance,  Abigail 

Emery,  H.  Gates  Severance,  Judith 

Emery,  Nancy  True,  Ruth 

Emery,  William  Weare,  Abigail 

Until  1839  the  Freewill  Baptists  and  the  Christians  jointly 
occupied  the  meeting-house,  now  North  Church,  but  in  1839  the 
Baptists  built  a  church  of  their  own,  occupying  it  with  varying 
prosperity  until  ^May  23,  1871.  Avhen  the  building  was  burned. 

The  committee  for  building  the  church  in  1839  consisted  of 
seven  members:     Dea.  James  Severens,  Jonathan  Cilley,  Henry 


Religious  Societies  and  Churches.  97 

Dearborn  Cilley,  Dea.  Josiah  Bachelder,  James  Bailey,  Simeon 
Rollins  and  Andrew  Jackson  Tucker. 

The  land  for  the  house  was  bought  of  Elder  Elijah  Watson  for 
$50,  the  deed  providing  that  it  was  to  be  "  occupied  by  the  Free- 
will Baptist  people  of  Andover  for  a  meeting-house,  and  for  that 
alone. ' ' 

The  Freewill  Baptist  Church  organization  was  incorporated 
March  1,  1839,  under  the  provisions  of  the  statute  passed  June 
3,  1827.  Through  the  efforts  of  Dea.  Josiah  Bachelder  a  fine 
toned  bell,  the  first  in  town,  weighing  1,027  pounds,  was  mounted 
in  the  tower  of  the  Freewill  Baptist  Church  February  20,  1841, 
at  an  expense  of  $299.15.  This  bell  was  first  tolled  on  the  death 
of  Mesheck  Weare,  April  29,  1841. 

It  has  been  claimed  by  members  of  the  Freewill  Baptist  Church 
that  the  modern  custom  of  hand  shaking  was  unusual  in  this  town 
at  the  beginning  of  the  nineteenth  century,  and  that  the  habit, 
now  so  prevalent,  was  introduced,  mainly,  by  the  members  of  that 
church  as  an  indication  of  their  warm,  brotherly  fellowship.  At 
first  the  custom  was  not  fully  understood  by  most  of  the  citizens. 
It  is  related  by  a  member  of  that  church,  that  an  ardent  lover, 
in  the  eastern  part  of  the  town,  having  seen  a  pious  brother  cor- 
dially shaking  the  hand  of  the  jealous  swain's  sweetheart  in  pub- 
lic, soon  sought  an  opportunity  to  assure  his  fair  Ruth  that,  upon 
the  repetition  of  such  familiarity,  he  "should  consider  her  no 
longer  his  friend  or  affianced."  Probably  the  offense  was  not 
repeated,  for  the  happy  pair  were  the  ancestors  of  many  de- 
scendants. 

In  1854  the  members  of  the  Freewill  Baptist  society  decided  to 
perfect  a  new  organization. 

At  a  meeting  on  March  10,  they  adopted  the  following  consti- 
tution : 

We  whose  names  are  hereunto  annexed  agree  to  form  ourselves  into 
a  religious  society  to  be  known  as  the  Free  Will  Baptist  Society  at 
East  Andover  N.  H.  assuming  all  the  responsibilities  rights  and  privi- 
leges of  the  Laws  of  the  State  made  and  provided;  and  subjecting  our- 
selves to  the  following  Constitution. 

Article  1.  This  society  shall  hold  its  annual  meeting  the  first  Satur- 
day in  February,  except  the  first,  which  shall  be  the  third  Saturday  in

same.     The  first,  however,  to  be  regulated  by  agreement.

ing up  two  warrants,  one  at  the  place  of  worship  and  the  other  in  some

occurring  after  said  removal. 

Article  8.  Any  amendments  or  alterations  may  be  made  to  this  con- 
stitution by  a  vote  of  the  society  at  any  regular  meeting  provided  that 
notice  of  the  same  be  given  in  the  warrant  for  calling  said  meeting.

The  following-  legal  notice,  dated  March  18,  185-4,  was  printed 
in  the  Independent  Democrat  at  Concord,  April  20,  1854 : 

Notice  is  hereby  given  that  Henry  D.  Celley,  Ziba  Severance,  Henry 
A.  Weymouth,  Thomas  Haley,  and  their  associates,  have  formed  them- 
selves into  a  Religious  Society  at  East  Andover  N.  H.,  assuming  all  the 
responsibilities,  rights  and  privileges  of  the  laws  of  the  State  made  and 
provided. 

At  the  first  meeting  in  March,  1854,  W.  A.  Bachelder  was 
<3hosen  clerk  and  William  Emery,  James  Connor  and  Daniel  Wey- 
mouth, directors. 

The  following  is  from  the  pen  of  W.  A.  Bachelder,  the  clerk  of 
the  society : 

Free  Will  Baptist  Meeting  Houses  at  East  Andover. 

The  first  one  was  raised  on  June  25  1839  without  any  ardent  spirits. 
It  was  dedicate(f  Dec.  25,  1839;  sermon  by  Elder  Ebenezer  Fisk  of  New 
Hampton;  Elders  Joseph  Elliott  of  Franklin,  Nahum  Brooks,  E.  Watson 
and  David  Moody  assisting  in  the  service.  James  Monroe  Bailey  wrote 
an  original  hymn  which  was  sung. 

This  house  was  burned  May  23,  1871  from  a  fire  originating  from  an 
engine  on  the  railroad; — also  burning  Major  N.  Emerson's  house.  In 
due  time  the  society  by  their  agent  H.  A.  Weymouth  entered  a  suit 
against  the  railroad  for  damage  and  after  much  delay  recovered  from 
the  Northern  Railroad  Co.  $1500.  which  enabled  the  society  to  pay  the 
debts  contracted  in  building  the  new  house,  above  the  sale  of  pews  and 
several  contributions.  The  cost  of  the  new  house  was  about  $2900.  It 
was  dedicated  June  3,  1874:  sermon  by  Rev.  J.  E.  Dame  of  Lowell  Mass., 
able  and  eloquent,  more  than  an  hour  long.  Rev.  J.  C.  Osgood  of  Con- 
toocook  read  the  Scriptures  and  the  prayers  were  by  Rev.  Mr.  Martin, 
Rev.  J.  Monroe  Bailey  and  Rev.  C.  B.  Griffin.  Fine  music  was  furnished 
by  the  choir. 

The  records  of  this  church,  save  for  the  business  meetings,  have 
not  been  found;  but  the  following  list  of  members  in  1893,  was 
discovered  among  the  records  of  annual  meetings :

The  unwonted  formality  of  this  organization  seems  to  have 
•exhausted  the  vitality  of  the  society,  for  no  further  record  of 
progress  or  existence  has  been  found. 

On  May  30,  1810,  a  Freewill  Baptist  Church  was  organized  at 
the  Centre.  In  1810  Elder  Ebenezer  Chase  was  ordained  as  pas- 
tor. Jonathan  Keniston  was  the  ruling  elder  and  Moses  Sleeper 
-was  deacon. 

This  church  was  scattered  in  1813  or  1814. 

THE  CHRISTIAN  CHURCH. 

The  "Monthly  Meeting,"  1801  to  1819,  was  practically  a  Free- 
will Baptist  organization.  A  lack  of  thorough  organization  and 
discipline,  however,  permitted  persons  of  divergent,  sometimes 
fantastic,  religious  views  and  creeds,  to  become  members  of  the 
society  and  it  finally  became  a  house  divided  against  itself.  Un- 
der these  conditions,  any  voluntary  organization  would  soon  fall 
"to  pieces.  To  avoid  such  a  catastrophe  a  new  organization  was 
devised  which,  by  adopting  two  names  in  its  title,  one  referring 
to  the  former  affiliation  of  most  of  its  members;  and,  by  taking 
"the  Word  of  God  as  the  only  rule  of  faith  and  practice,"  as 
their  declaration  of  faith,  they  hoped  to  form  a  platform  on 
which  all  the  prevalent  evangelical  creeds  could  find  room. 

Out  of  this  condition  sprang,  on  September  14,  1819,  the 
^'Christian  Baptist"  Church  which,  with  varying  prosperity,  ex- 
isted until  a  real  Freewill  Baptist  Church  was  formed  in  1830. 
The  first  deacons  of  the  Christian  Baptist  Church  wore  Stephen 


102  History  of  Andover. 

Sleeper  and  Joseph  E.  Fellows,  followed  by  Nathan  Woodbury 
and  Calel)  T?ol)io. 

The  withdrawal  of  the  Baptist  clement,  to  form  the  new  church, 
left  the  "Christian"  portion  of  the  Christian  Baptist  organiza- 
tion b}^  themselves.  From  this  time,  January  7,  1830,  dates  the 
separate  organization  of  the  "Christian  Church"  in  Andover. 

From  1831  to  1839  the  meeting-house,  now  the  North  Church,, 
was  used  jointly  by  the  Freewill  Baptists  and  the  Christians,  gen- 
erally on  alternate  Sundays.  In  1839  the  Freewill  Baptists^ 
erected  a  house  for  themselves,  leaving  the  old  meeting-house  in 
the  hands  of  the  Christian  denomination. 

At  the  town  meeting  on  March  10,  1840,  it  was  voted  that  "the 
town  relinquish  their  claim  to  the  East  Meeting  house  provided 
that  the  proprietors  or  some  religious  society  will  repair  the 
same. ' ' 

The  town  meetings  had  been  held,  generally,  in  the  meeting- 
house, but  it  was  now  felt  that  the  frequent  occupation  of  the 
building  by  a  political  gathering  with  the  usual  accessories  and 
tumult,  was  not  appropriate  for  a  house  of  worship. 

A  meeting  of  the  proprietors  of  the  "East  Meeting  House" 
was  held  at  the  meeting-house  on  March  16,  1840. 

Article  3  in  the  w^arrant  read:  "To  see  if  the  Proprietors  will 
vote  to  repair  said  house. ' ' 

Article  4.  "To  see  how"  said  house  shall  be  repaired. ' ' 

The  owners  of  thirty  and  two-thirds  pews  voted  for  repairing 
the  church  and  those  representing  eighteen  and  one-third  pews, 
voted  against  it. 

Those  voting  for  repairing  were  : 

Friend  Bailey,  Henry  Emery, 

Mrs.  Bachelder,  Joseph  Fellows, 

Anna  Brown,  Stephen  Fellows, 

Joseph  Brown,  Jacob  Graves, 

Joseph  Brow^n,  Elijah  Hilton,

A  committee,  consisting  of  William  Parsons,  John  Rowell 
and  Aaron  A.  Palmer,  was  appointed  to  appraise  the  pews  in 
said  house.  On  March  26,  1840,  the  committee  reported  that 
"the  pews  in  the  floor  are  worth  $8.50  per  pew  and  those  in  the 
gallery  $1.00  per  pew.  In  coming  to  this  conclusion ;  1^'  we  find 
the  land  is  worth  $50.00 ;  2^  the  underpinning  is  worth  $100.00 ; 
S"^  the  house  is  worth  $252.50.     Making  in  all  $402.50." 

A  committee  for  repairing  the  meeting-house  consisted  of  Capt. 
Caleb  Marston,  James  Marston,  Sr.  and  Capt.  William  Graves. 
Willard  Emery  was  the  financial  agent. 

The  repairs  of  the  house  were  finished  at  a  cost  of  $2,146.42 
and  the  house  was  rededicated  December  3,  1840.  The  repairs 
and  the  dedication  were  under  the  direction  of  the  Christian  de- 
nomination and  the  house  was  used  by  that  denomination  until 
about  1862.  At  the  dedication  of  the  church  Elder  Mark  Fer- 
nald  of  Kittery,  Me.,  preached  the  sermon.  He  was  known  to 
be  strongly  opposed  to  any  instrumental  music  in  church  and  he 
had  been  promised  that  none  should  be  used,  but  he  felt  it  un- 
likely that  the  promise  could  be  kept.  Accordingly  when  it  was 
time  for  him  to  "give  out  the  hymn,"  he  said:  "Let  us  sing  and 
fiddle  to  the  praise  of  God"  hymn  No. . 

The  bell  now  hanging  in  the  belfry  of  the  North  Church  was 
placed  in  position  November  10,  1840.     The  money  for  the  pur- 


104  History  of  Andover. 

chase  of  the  bell  was  raised  by  subscription  and  forty-six  names 
were  on  the  subscription  list.  The  bell  was  bought  by  Clark 
Durgin  of  John  Baker  of  Boston,  on  October  25,  1840.  It 
weighed  844  pounds  and  cost,  delivered,  $242.75.  The  bell  was 
first  used  on  the  evening  of  November  10,  1840,  to  celebrate  the 
election  of  William  Henry  Harrison,  "Old  Tippecanoe,"  as 
president  of  the  United  States.  A  small  minority  of  the  sub- 
scribers for  the  bell,  representing  $16,  were  adherents  of 
General  Harrison.  The  majority  objected  to  the  use  of  the  bell 
for  such  partisan  political  purposes,  and  much  bitter  ill  feeling 
was  developed. 

METHODIST  CHURCH. 

A  Methodist  society  was  organized  at  the  Centre  in  1827,  Maj. 
William  Proctor  being  the  leading  member  of  the  organization. 
Meetings  were  held  in  the  church  at  stated  intervals  and  were 
well  attended.  The  membership  at  its  most  prosperous  period 
is  believed  to  have  been  about  thirty. 

The  first  preachers  in  1827  were  Matthew  and  Eichard  New- 
hall.     From  1827  to  1838  the  full  list  of  preachers  is  as  follows : 

1828,  William  Kimball  and  Sereno  Fisk. 

1829,  John  Adams  and  Caleb  Bede. 

1830,  J.  B.  H.  Norris  and  Sylvester  Williams. 

1831,  J.  B.  H.  Norris  and  S.  Harket. 

1832,  Nathaniel  Ladd  and  S.  P.  Williams. 

1833,  J.  W.  Morey  and  M.  Quimby. 

1834,  Jonas  Scott  and  H.  Clark. 

1835,  E.  H.  Ladd. 

1836,  John  L.  Smith  ("Hallelujah  John"). 

1837,  John  L.  Smith. 

1838,  A.  Folsom  and  D.  Jones. 

After  this  date  there  was  only  occasional  preaching  and  the 
organization  gradually  died  out. 

In  1832  the  Andover  circuit,  embracing  the  Andover  and  Bos- 
cawen  churches,  was  formed.  A  notable  camp  meeting  was  held 
in  June,  1834,  on  the  plains  near  the  schoolhouse  by  the  societies 
of  this  denomination.     Many  tents  were  pitched,  the  speakers

were  numerous  and  the  meeting  continued  for  four  days.  Dur- 
ing its  best  days  the  Andover  society  was  widely  known  for  its 
zeal  and  enthusiasm. 

THE  SO-CALLED  UNITARIAN  SOCIETY. 

The  following  account  of  the  organization  of  a  Unitarian  soci- 
-ety,  with  a  list  of  members,  was  found  among  the  papers  of  ]Mr. 
Elijah  Hilton.  This  paper  has  doubtless  been  the  foundation  for 
the  statement  that  a  Unitarian  Church  was  formed  in  Andover 
in  1830. 

A  careful  examination  of  the  names  in  the  list  of  members 
will  disclose  the  fact  that  if  it  was  a  Unitarian  Church,  as  the 
religious  world  has  always  understood  those  terms,  then  those 
members  were  not  aware  of  the  fact. 

Benaiah  Bean  was  a  well-known,  enthusiastic,  evangelical  ex- 
horter,  as  was  also  Peter  E.  Swett.  Joseph  E.  Fellows,  Stephen 
Fellows,  Asa  C.  Morrison  and  Nehemiah  D.  Sleeper  were  at  that 
lime  all  well-known  evangelical  preachers,  whose  faith  and  prac- 
tice were  diametrically  opposed  to  the  doctrines  and  thought  of 
Unitarians.  The  use  of  the  word  "Unitarian"  arose,  no  doubt, 
from  a  misinterpretation  of  its  meaning.  The  founders  were 
evidently  hoping  for  a  "union"  church.  No  further  record  of 
this  organization  has  been  found. 

The  following  preamble  and  statement  present  in  a  somewhat 
ambiguous  way,  the  aims  and  hopes  of  the  society : 

Whereas  religion  and  morality  grounded  on  Evangelical  principals 
lay  the  firmest  foundation  for  happiness  here  and  hereafter  and  in  order 
to  cultivate  and  support  this  grand  principle  it  becomes  nesessary  that 
men  associate  together  or  form  themselves  into  Societys  for  the  mutual 
benefit  and  happiness  of  each  other  and  such  is  the  lot  of  human  nature 
in  this  imperfect  State  that  it  becomes  necessary  for  every  Society  to 
form  and  adopt  certing  rules  or  regulations  for  a  ruling  principle  of 
government  for  the  mutual  happiness  of  the  whole:  — 

Therefore  we  the  undersigners  have  formed  ourselves  into  a  Society 
by  the  name  of  the  first  Unitarian  Society  in  Andover  and  agree  that 
our  proportion  of  the  interest-money  be  appropriated  for  the  use  of 
S'd  Society:  —

108  PIlSTORY   OF   AnDOVER. 

THE   UNIVERSALIST    SOCIETY. 

The  Universalist  society  was  organized  in  1819,  as  set  forth  in 
the  following  records: 

At  a  meeting  of  a  number  of  Brethren  in  Andover,  believing  in  the 
restoration  of  all  men  through  Jesus  Christ,  attended  on  Brother  Peter 
Fifield  while  he  read  a  statement  of  the  faith  once  delivered  to  the 
saints,  and  after  a  few  preliminary  remarks  on  the  same,  voted  unan- 
imously that  Brother  Peter  Fifield  be  Chairman  of  this  Meeting  and 
Jere  E.  Tirrill  Clerk 

Voted,  unanimously  that  the  Brethren  present  form  themselves  into 
a  society  for  the  support  of  the  Gospel,  by  the  name  of  the  First  Univer- 
sal Society  in  Andover. 

Voted,  that  the  annual  meeting  of  this  society  be  holden  on  the  first 
Tuesday  in  March. 

Voted,  that  it  be  the  duty  of  the  Clerk  to  notify  the  annual  meeting. 

Voted,  that  John  Tirrill,  Benj.  Thompson  and  Samuel  Elkins  be  a 
committee  to  transact  all  secular  concerns  of  this  society. 

Voted,  that  this  meeting  be  adjourned  to  the  first  Tuesday  in  March. 

March  2  1819 

Met  according  to  adjournment. 

Voted,  that  the  Brethren  petition  the  Legislature  to  be  incorporated 
by  the  name  of  the  First  Universal  Society  of  Andover  N.  H. 

Voted,  to  choose  a  committee  to  form  a  petition  and  present  the 
same  to  the  Legislature  for  the  above  purpose 

Meeting  dismissed. 

Jere  E.  Tirrill,  Clerk 
Peter  Fifield,  Chairman 

On  the  petition  of  Robert  Barber,  Peter  Fifield,  Tilton  Elkins 
and  their  associates,  the  society  was  incorporated  by  Act  of  the 
Legislature,  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  petition,  June 
24,  1819. 

In  1820  $16  was  raised  to  defray  the  ordinary  expenses  for 
the  year. 

The  meetings  of  this  society  were  generally  held  at  private 
houses.  Those  most  frequently  used  were  the  homes  of  Robert 
Barber,  Samuel  Brown,  John  J.  Bryant,  Reuben  Dearborn,  Ger- 
shom  Durgin  and  Peter  Fifield.  Meetings  were  held  occasionally 
in  the  sehoolhouse  in  District  No.  10,  in  the  Franklin  House  at 
the  Centre  and  in  the  tavern  of  Dudley  Dearborn. 

No  record  has  been  found  of  the  membership  before  1827 ;  nor 
■has  any  record  been  found  of  the  ministers  during  the  existence 


Keligious  Societies  and  Churches.  109- 

of  the  society.  It  is  known  that  Robert  Bartlett  preached  occa- 
sionally soon  after  the  formation  of  the  society.  Walter  Harri- 
man  of  Warner,  afterwards  governor  of  this  state,  preached  fre- 
quently between  1843  and  1850.  Rev.  Nathan  R.  Wright  of 
Washington,  N.  H.,  preached  occasionally  between  1847  and  1853. 
In  1825  it  is  recorded  that  the  following  persons  withdrew 
from  the  society : 

Daniel  Hnntoon,  Tilton   Elkins, 

Isaiah  Langley,  Daniel  Mitchell, 

Joseph  S.  Huntoon,  John  Huntoon, 

Richard  Potter,  Jona.  Sanborn, 

Peter  Fitield,  James  Proctor. 

As  all  of  the  above  names,  except  those  of  Richard  Potter  and 
James  Proctor,  appear  in  a  subsequent  list,  it  is  probable  that  the 
withdrawal  was  temporary.

THE   UNION  MEETING-HOUSE   AT   THE   CENTRE. 

The  earliest  record  concerning-  this  meeting-house  is  the  fol- 
lowing, found  on  a  single  sheet  of  paper : 

At  a  meeting  of  a  number  of  inhabitants  of  Andover,  holden  at  the 
house  of  Peter  Fifield  Esq.  on  Saturday  the  tenth  day  of  Nov.  1821,  to 
consult  on  the  propriety  of  building  a  meeting-house  on  the  parad  near 
Peter  Fifield's  Esqr's  house  the  following  votes  were  taken,  viz. 

1st.  Chose  William  Proctor  Esqr.,  Chairman:

5th  Chose  Jere  Tirrill  and  Aaron  Cilley 

6tii.  Voted  to  set  it  up  to  vendue. 

7th.  Chose  William  Proctor  Esq"",  auctioneer. 

8th  Struck  off  to  William  Cilley  at  one  hundred  and  eighty  dollars. 

9th  Voted  to  have  the  house  raised  by  the  fifteenth  of  May  next. 

The  only  record  found  of  the  date  of  raising  the  frame  of  the 
meeting-house  is  in  a  letter  from  Amos  B.  Proctor  to  his  brother 
John,  then  in  Rhode  Island,  and  dated  Sunday,  June  23,  1822. 
He  wrote:  "Last  Thursday  the  meeting-house  was  raised;  the 
weather  was  very  unfavorable,  being  rainy  the  most  part  of  the 
day,  but  no  person  received  any  injury  except  Mr.  Daniel  Smith. 
A  large  joist  fell  from  the  beams,  one  end  struck  him  on  the  head, 
knocked  him  down,  split  the  jawbone  in  the  centre  of  his  chin 
and  injured  his  shoulder."     "He  is  fast  recovering." 

"This  splendid  edifice  is  46  feet  N.  &  S.,  42  feet  E.  &  W.,  22 
feet  posts  and  there  is  to  be  a  steeple  with  a  25  foot  spire  instead 
of  a  cupola." 

This  account  fixes  the  date  of  "raising"  as  June  20,  1822. 
The  following  item,  in  the  same  letter,  will  be  of  interest  in  con- 
nection with  the  history  of  the  sehoolhouses.  "There  is  nothing 
done  to  the  schoolhouse  frame  yet  but  it  will  be  finished  before 
the  winter  school  begins." 

The  Universalists,  Methodists,  Christians,  and  several  persons 
not  members  of  any  church,  united  in  a  spirit  of  harmony  to 
build  the  long-desired  edifice,  which  cost  $2,200,  and  was  fin- 
ished in  1824.  It  was  located  on  the  northea.stern  section  of  the 
"Common"  or  "parade  ground,"  fronting  south  towards  the 
turnpike.  The  dimensions  were  given  in  Mr.  Proctor's  letter. 
The  entrance  and  the  usual  interior  entrance  hall  were  at  the 
south  end.  A  gallery  was  built  on  the  east,  north  and  west 
sides  and  reached  by  staircases  in  the  southeast  and  southwest 
corners  of  the  entrance  hall.  The  pulpit  was  at  the  middle  of  the 
south  end  of  the  auditorium  and  was  originally  furnished  with  a 
"sounding-board,"  which  was  finally  discarded.  In  each  of  the 
southeast  and  southwest  corners  of  the  lower  floor  was  a  box  pew 
ten  or  twelve  feet  square.  There  were  two  ranges  of  pews  in 
the  central  part  of  the  house, and  one  range  on  the  east  and  west 
sides  respectively.  The  side  ranges  were  separated  from  those 
in  the  central  part  of  the  house  by  aisles  running  the  whole 


Keligious  Societies  and  Churches.  113 

length  of  the  room.  The  floor  of  the  side  pews  was  six  or  eight 
inches  higher  than  that  of  the  central  pews.  The  floor  of  two  or 
three  pews  at  the  north  end  of  the  central  rows  of  pews  was  raised 
like  that  of  the  side  pews  and  the  church  choir  occupied  such  of 
these  pews  as  they  needed.  The  backs  of  all  the  pews  w^ere  high 
and  perpendicular,  with  a  molding  on  top  and  projecting  about 
three  eighths  of  an  inch  on  each  side  of  the  top.  This  moulding 
was  a  source  of  acute  discomfort  to  all  occupants  above  the  ordi- 
nary stature. 

The  original  construction  of  the  interior  continued  until  1849, 
when  the  space  over  the  central  pews  and  pulpit,  and  between 
the  galleries,  w^as  floored  over  to  construct  a  hall  in  the  upper 
story  for  the  Andover  Academy.     (See  Acadera3^) 

No  alcoholic  liquors  were  provided  on  the  day  of  dedication  in 
1824  and  all  the  exercises  were  conducted  in  perfect  harmony  by 
the  several  representatives  of  the  different  denominations. 

As  indicating  the  liberal  and  Christian  spirit  of  the  people,  it 
may  be  said  that  so  far  as  now  known,  no  church  quarrels  ever 
arose  from  the  joint  occupation  of  the  building  by  different 
denominations. 

Of  the  dedication  services,  the  Kev.  Frederick  Lyman  Batchel- 
der,  born  in  Andover  in  1815.  wrote  in  1906  as  follows : 

When  the  Andover  Meeting  house  (at  Mousam)  was  dedicated  they 
got  lip  a  select  choir.  Dr.  Tilton  Ell-cins  was  the  leader  and  the  leading 
tenor  singer;  Mr.  Odlin  Batchelder  was  the  leading  bass  and  Mrs.  Hul- 
dah  Batchelder  led  the  soprano  singers.  They  scoured  the  country 
round  for  instruments  and  players  and  were  quite  successful.  Of  course 
they  had  no  pipe  organ,  piano  or  melodeon  nor  had  they  a  double  bass 
viol: — but  they  had  a  violincello.  violins  and  clarionettes.  Also  they 
had  an  instrument  called  an  ancient  .Jewish  Cymbal: — It  might  have 
been  that, — but  w^hatever  it  was  it  appears  to  have  been  the  last  of  its 
race.  I  have  never  seen  the  like  of  it  since.  The  choir  met  for  rehear- 
sal in  Esquire  Daniel  Huntoon's  hall,  whose  house  stood  east  of  the 
meeting  house  on  the  same  side  of  the  way,  twenty  rods,  perhaps,  dis- 
tant. They  marched  to  the  Meeting  house  singing  and  all  of  the  in- 
struments, incluaing  the  violincello,  playing.  That  was  the  first  choir 
I  ever  saw.  It  was  born  for  that  occasion  and,  true  to  its  nature,  had 
a  little  incipient  quarrel.  Mrs.  Huldah  was  appointed  to  lead  the  treble 
singers;  her  place  of  course  was  at  the  head  of  the  seat.  Nabby  the 
pretty  young  daughter  of  the  "Squire"  was  chosen  next.  Nabby  was 
much  disgruntled  at  being  superseded  by  a  woman  of  47  while  she  was

114  History  of  Andover. 

J8  or  20.  Nabby  crowded  and  Mis,  Hiildah  had  only  a  small  portion 
of  the  seat  and  had  to  crowd  pretty  haid  to  hold  even  that.  Of  the 
dedicatory  services  I  remember  but  little;  there  was  a  great  crowd  and 
ministers  of  all  denominations  were  present  and  took  part  in  the  exer- 
cises as  it  was  a  Union  Meeting  house.  But  the  anthem  sung  on  that 
occasion  was  deeply  impressed  on  my  mind.     The  first  line  was:  — 

"Strike  the  Cymbal,  roll  the  tymbal,  let  the  trump  of  triumph  sound;" 
and  that  was  the  spirit  of  the  whole  anthem.  This  was  the  only  meet- 
ing of  that  choir  that  I  ever  heard  of. 

The  anthem  iiientioiied  by  Rev.  ]Mr.  Batchelder  is  found  in  the 
" Bridgewater  Collectit>n  of  Sacred  ^Musie."'  ]2th  edition,  1823. 
The  words  were  as  l)elow  : 

Strike  the  cymbal,  roll  the  tymbal,  let  the  trump  of  triumph  sound. 
Powerful  slinging,  headlong  bringing  proud  Goliah  to  the  ground. 
From  the  river,  rejecting  quiver,  Judah's  hero  takes  the  stone. 
Spread  your  banners,  shout  hosannas,  Battle  is  the  Lord's  alone. 

See  advances,  with  songs  and  dances. 

All  the  bands  of  Israel's  daughters.     Catch   the  sound  ye  hills  and 
waters. 

God  of  thunder,  rend  asunder  all  the  power  Philistia  boasts. 

What  are  nations?     What  their  stations?     Israel's  God  is  Lord  of  hosts. 

What  are  haughty  monarchs  now?     Low  before  Jehovah  bow. 

Pride  of  princes  strength  of  kings.     To  the  dust  Jehovah  brings. 

Praise  him,  Praise  him.  exulting  nations  praise; 

Praise  him,  Praise  him,  exulting  nations  praise. 

Hosanna,  Hosanna.  Hosanna.

a  postponement  of  the  "vendue"  to  a  later  date,  adding  a  provi- 
sion that  purchasers  of  pews  may  pay  all,  or  a  portion  of  the 
price,  with  a  note  payable  at  the  end  of  one  year.

The  Rev.  Thomas  Worcester,  then  pieaehing  in  Salisbury,  was 
the  first  minister  employed  at  this  church  on  a  fixed  salary.  He 
was  engaged  to  preach  one  sermon  per  month  for  $80  per  year. 
Soon  after,  and  for  many  years,  the  meeting-house  was  used  by 
the  Universalists,  Congregationalists,  Methodists  and  the  Chris- 
tian or  Freewill  Baptists,  each  occupying  the  pulpit,  in  turn,  for 
one  Sunday,  in  the  order  named.  In  1856  the  full  control  of  the 
house  was  transferred  to  the  Christian  denomination,  who  con^ 
tinned  in  charge  until  the  entire  luiilding  came  under  the  con- 
trol of  Proctor  Academv.

THE  UNITARIAN  SOCIETY. 

The  Congregational  Unitarian  Society  was  organized  in 
1879.  Its  brief  creed,  "The  object  of  this  society  shall  be 
united  effort  in  the  study  and  practice  of  Christianity,"  is  in 
harmony  with  the  constitution  of  the  National  Conference  of 
Unitarian  Churches,  which  declares :  ' '  These  churches  accept  the 
religion  of  Jesus,  holding,  in  accordance  with  His  teaching,  that 
practical  religion  is  summed  up  in  love  to  God  and  love  to  man." 

At  the  time  of  the  first  annual  meeting,  in  1880,  the  following

ligious organization  and  centre  of  active  influence.

CHURCH    AT    WEST   ANDOVER. 

The  fifth  church  in  town  was  built  at  West  Audover  l)y  the 
"Union  Enterprise  Society."  It  was  located  on  the  triangular 
lot  at  the  junction  of  the  Fourth  New  Hampshire  and  Grafton 
turnpikes,  and  was  completed  in  ]\Iarch,  1882. 

The  society  was  formed  as  a  nou-sectariau  organization  and 
its  members  were  disposed  to  waive  the  discussion  of  their  various 
sectarian  affiliations  and  unite  cordially  in  the  simple  worship 
of  God.  In  this  spirit  the  building  was  dedicated  August  31, 
1882.  The  dedication  sermon  was  preached  by  Rev.  William 
ilorrill.  The  pastors  have  been :  William  ]\Iorrill,  Christian : 
William  Love  and  James  D.  Legro,  Methodist ;  with  the  follow- 
ing incomplete  list  of  those  who  have  occupied  the  pulpit  at  va- 
rious times.  This  list  is  not  from  records,  but  from  the  recol- 
lection of  members  of  the  congregation,  and  they  are  not  ar- 
ranged in  chronological  order :  Charles  Trussell,  Guy  Richard- 
son, D.  E.  Burns,  George  B.  Goodrich,  Dana  Colton,  C.  W.  ]\Iar-

REVIVALS. 

The  development  of  great  excitement  among  the  people  of  all 
ages  by  the  fervid  preaching  of  ministers  and  ''exhorters"  was 
called,  in  the  early  part  of  the  nineteenth  century,  a  "Revival," 
or  '  *  Reformation. " ' 

The  success  of  many  of  these  enthusiastic  pi-eachers  in  rousing 
the  most  careless  or  hardened  sinners  fi-om  their  dangerous  leth- 


124  History  of  Andover. 

argy,  was  so  great,  that  they  went  from  town  to  town  in  this  sec- 
tion of  the  state  exhibiting  remarkable  power  in  exciting,  per- 
suading and  controlling  the  more  impressionable  natures  in  their 
audiences.  In  many  cases  the  excitement  produced  many  of  the 
phenomena  of  hysteria,  several  people,  mostly  young  women, 
falling  to  the  floor  aimlessly  struggling  and  often  averring  their 
inability  to  rise  again  until  certain  religious  experiences  were 
avowed  by  some  friend  in  the  congregation. 

In  many  cases  the  newly-awakened  interest  in  religious 
thought  and  action  became  a  permanent  and  controlling  factor 
in  the  life  of  the  individual,  but  it  should  be  as  frankly  stated 
that  when  the  excitement  ceased  a  large  percentage  of  the  "con- 
verts" suftered  a  relapse,  were  reckoned  as  "backsliders,"  but 
were  often  re-converted  at  each  succeeding  wave  of  religious  en- 
thusiasm. 

1801.— The  first  "revival"  in  town  occurred  in  1801- '02,  un- 
der the  preaching  of  Freewill  Baptist  ministers,  and  resulted  in 
the  formation  of  the  so-called  "Monthly  Meeting." 

1810. — A  revival  occurred  under  the  preaching  of  Elder  Ebe- 
nezer  Chase  and  many  converts  joined  the  Monthly  Meeting. 

1814r-'15. — A  revival  occurred,  but  it  was  of  short  duration. 

1816. — During  the  preaching  of  Elder  John  Crocket  of  San- 
bornton,  at  East  Andover.  during  a  portion  of  1816.  a  marked 
revival  occurred,  which  continued  several  weeks. 

1819. — The  great  revival  or  "Reformation"  occurred  in  the 
winter  of  1819- '20,  under  the  preaching  of  Elder  Peter  Young, 
assisted  by  the  local  minister.  Elder  Nehemiah  D:  Sleeper.  The 
"awakening"  was  widespread  and  converts  were  made  in  everj- 
section  of  the  town.  Nathan  Woodbury  was  the  first  person  bap- 
tized and  seven  others  were  immersed  the  same  day  by  Elder  Ne- 
hemiah D.  Sleeper.  As  a  result  of  this  "reformation"  a  church 
was  organized  with  107  members.  This  was  the  first  of  the  or- 
ganizations that  finally  became  the  Christian  Church. 

1824. — Another  revival  occurred  in  1824,  but  no  definite  record 
has  been  found. 

1826. — In  July  Elder  Asa  C.  Morrison,  assisted  by  Jonathan 
Prescott,  a  noted  "exhorter, "  held  a  series  of  meetings  at  va- 
rious houses  in  the  eastern  part  of  the  town,  resulting  in  a  revi- 
val of  considerable  magnitude.     Several  persons  in  the  central  sec- 


Religious  Societies  and  Churches.  125 

tion  of  the  town  experienced  religion  and  many  persons  joined  the 
"church,"  which,  at  that  time,  was  "Freewill  Baptist,"  "Chris- 
tian Baptist"  or  "Christian,"  as  the  tentative  theological  opin- 
ions of  each  group  of  individuals  found  opportunity  for  expres- 
sion. 

1831. — There  was  a  great  increase  of  religious  interest  awak- 
ened and  stimulated  by  a  series  of  neighborhood  meetings  in  pri- 
vate houses  and  in  the  district  schoolhouses.  In  1832  these  meet- 
ings were  held  under  the  direction  of  Elder  Elijah  Watson  and 
Elder  Ahah  Buzzell  of  the  Freewill  Baptist  Church.  During 
the  months  of  July,  August  and  September  Elder  Watson  bap- 
tized thirty  persons  at  the  "white  sands"  at  Loon  Pond. 

1839. — A  noted  revival,  in  1839,  in  the  western  part  of  Ando- 
ver  and  in  Wilmot,  was  an  incident  of  the  preaching  of  Elder 
Watson,  who,  himself,  "baptized  41  happy  souls." 

Referring  to  the  above  rite,  he  wrote  :  ' '  ten  times  have  I  been 
down  into  the  frozen  stream  to  attend  to  this  solemn  and  delight- 
ful command, — day  and  night  have  I  travelled  to  attend  meet- 
ings and  never  did  I  enjoy  better  health  than  at  present."  He 
was  then  sixty-two  years  old. 

1839. — The  Merrimack  Christian  Conference  was  held  at  the 
house  of  Reuel  Long  on  the  first  Tuesday  in  September,  1839. 
Elders  John  Harriman,  Benjamin  Calley,  Richard  Davis,  Nehe- 
miah  D.  Sleeper,  Robert  Allen,  Jacob  B.  Burnham,  Joseph  Emery 
Fellows,  John  Gillingham,  Joseph  Elliott,  J.  C.  Blodgett,  Timo- 
thy Cole  and  T.  F.  Bariy  were  present.  From  the  zealous 
preaching  of  these  noted  "Christian"  orators  there  followed  a 
great  religious  revival  resulting  in  many  conversions. 

1840. — A  revival  was  the  result  of  the  preaching  of  Elder  Ben- 
jamin Calley. 

1841. — In  the  winter  of  1841- '42  an  extensive  revival  followed 
the  enthusiastic  preaching  of  Elder  J.  C.  Blodgett  and  Elder 
Benjamin  Calley.  Elder  Blodgett  wrote:  "Great  displays  of 
Divine  power  are  seen  among  the  people.  I  think  it  exceeds  all 
I  ever  witnessed  before."  Eighteen  converts  were  baptized. 
Thirteen  were  baptized  through  the  ice  at  the  old  fulling  mill  at 
East  Andover,  January  23,  1842. 

1842. — In  1840  William  Miller  began  to  preach  and  to  proph- 
ecy the  second  advent  of  Christ,  and  he  and  his  followers  claimed

the  al)ilily  to  foi-etell  the  exact  date  of  Jlis  coniiiiji.  In  1842 
Miller  earae  to  Andover,  preaching  with  great  unction:  "Be- 
hold the  Bridegi'oom  Cometh  go  ye  out  to  meet  him."  In  some 
localities  and  in  some  households  the  excitement  was  intense.  In 
cases  of  complete,  or  even  partial  belief,  the  effect  on  the  family 
and  individual  life  was  anything  but  salutary.  The  farmer  neg- 
lected his  fields  and  the  mechanic  laid  aside  his  tools,  feeling  that 
the  things  of  this  world  were  of  no  more  value.  The  farmer  gave 
away  to  all  who  came,  all  of  his  crops  that  had  not  been  eaten 
by  his  visiting  religious  brethren  and  their  horses.  Some  of  the 
more  zealous  enthusiasts  went  so  far  as  to  make  their  white  robes 
in  which  thej'  were  to  ascend  to  meet  the  "bridegroom"  as  he 
came.  As  the  predicted  day  of  "doom"  for  the  wicked  passed 
without  incident,  bitter  disappointment,  with  empty  barns,  cel- 
lars and  bins,  nearly  crushed  the  spirit  of  many  a  former  hopeful 
soul. 

MINISTERS   IN  ANDOVER. 

The  lack  of  complete  records  of  most  of  the  religious  societies 
in  town  makes  it  exceedingly  difficult  to  determine  what  minis- 
ters have  preached  in  the  various  churches.  The  list  of  preachers 
for  the  Unitarian  society  is  given  in  the  history  of  that  society, 
that  for  the  Congregational  societies  is  easily  ascertained,  but  for 
most  of  the  other  societies  the  recollections  of  the  people  are  the 
only  source  of  information. 

The  names  of  the  preachers  in  the  First  Congregational 
Church,  Badcock's;  the  second,  Kingsbury's;  the  third  at  the 
Centre  and  the  later  Congregational  Churches  at  East  Andover 
and  at  the  Centre,  are  all  given  in  the  accounts  of  these  different 
churches,  and  are  probably  complete.  For  the  first  twenty  years 
of  the  nineteenth  century  many  ministers  preached  in  the  meet- 
ing-house at  the  East  Village,  but  it  was  difficult  then,  and  impos- 
sible now,  in  the  absence  of  definite  records,  to  learn  the  denom- 
inational affiliations  of  all  those  preachers.  It  is  quite  doubtful 
if  they  knew  themselves;  for  many  of  them  were  Freewill  Bap- 
tists and  Christian  Baptists  or  Christians  by  turns. 

The  following  lists  are,  therefore,  not  only  incomplete,  but  it 
is  more  than  likely  that  some  names  are  improperly  classed,  but 
they  are  given  as  a  general  guide.  As  no  complete  chronological 
order  is  possible  now.  they  are  arranged  alphabetically :

BAPTIZING    LOCALITIES. 

The  frequent  and  extensive  "revivals"  at  East  Andover,  from 
1803  to  1840,  conducted  under  the  management  of  ''evangelists" 
and  "exhorters, "  and  by  Christian-Baptist,  Freewill  Baptist  and 
Christian  ministers,  all  of  whom  believed  in  the  efficacy  and 
necessity  of  the  ordinance  of  baptism,  led  to  the  selection  of  cer- 
tain spots  on  the  shore  of  Loon  Pond,  or  on  the  grassy  banks  of 
the  outlet  of  that  body  of  water,  for  the  celebration  of  the  ordi- 
nance of  baptism. 

For  many  years  a  spot  known  as  ' '  White  Sands, ' '  on  the  south 
shore  of  Loon  Pond,  was  a  favored  locality  for  the  innnersion  of 
converts.  At  this  point  the  bottom  of  the  pond  was  clear  and 
firm,  mostly  of  white  sand,  and  sloped  gradually  toward  deep 
water,  an  important  element  of  safety,  while  the  shore  was  in  it- 
self attractive  and  easily  reached — an  ideal  spot  for  the  religious 
ceremony.  Another  locality,  perhaps  more  frequently  used,  was 
on  the  west  bank  of  the  mill-stream,  just  below  the  old  fulling 


Religious  Societies  and  Churches.  129 

mill.  Here,  as  at  the  "White  Sands,"  was  ample  opportunity 
for  several  hundred  people  to  witness  the  final  act  of  the  con- 
verts' consecration. 

Of  the  use  of  this  baptismal  font  in  the  winter,  Mr.  W.  Adams 
Batehelder  wrote  as  follows : 

In  the  winter  of  1S41-2  an  unusually  large  number  of  persons  in  the 
eastern  part  of  the  town  became  religious  and  thirty  one  were  baptized 
in  the  mill-stream  on  a  vei-y  cold  and  windy  day.  It  was  necessary  to 
cut  through  ice  five  inches  thick  and  open  a  space  of  sufficient  size  to 
admit  the  minister  and  the  candidate  to  the  water.  So  severely  cold 
was  the  weather  that  ice  formed  on  the  open  water  in  two  minutes  and 
the  men  and  women  who  came  up,  one  after  the  other  from  the  chilly 
flood  were  immediately  confined  in  their  movements  by  the  garments 
which  froze  solid  around  them.  When  the  last  hymn  was  sung  and  the 
ceremony  was  over  the  persons  baptized  were  carried  away  to  be  thawed 
out  and  supplied  with  dry  and  comfortable  clothing.  I  never  heard  of 
a  case  where  one  of  the  subjects  of  such  an  unattractive  baptism  took 
cold  through  the  rite. 

At  the  Centre  village,  the  place  usually  selected  for  the  bap- 
tismal ceremony  was  at  the  north  bank  of  the  river  just  below  the 
Seavey  Bridge.  It  was  a  pleasant,  accessible  spot  in  mild 
W'Cather,  but  in  the  months  of  an  ordinary  New  Hampshire  win- 
ter nothing  less  than  the  supreme  exaltation  of  fervid  religious 
enthusiasm  or  the  quiet,  unswerving  zeal  of  the  ancient  Puritan, 
could  sustain  the  patient,  cheerful  air  of  those  who  went  down 
into  the  icy  water. 

The  writer  has  seen  young  men  and  delicate  young  women 
immersed  in  the  river  at  this  spot  on  a  cold,  blustering  day  in 
midwinter,  when  the  water  was  only  reached  by  cutting  through 
fifteen  inches  of  ice.  Icicles  four  inches  long  hung  from  their 
hair  and  clothes  before  they  could  reach  any  shelter. 

SERVICES  BY  CLERGYMEN  OF  THE  ROMAN  CATHOLIC  CHURCH. 

The  first  Roman  Catholic  service  in  town  was  held  in  a  small 
building  near  the  residence  of  John  Weare.  It  occurred  while 
the  railway  was  building  through  the  eastern  part  of  the  town. 
The  next  meeting  was  held  in  the  North  ]\Ieetinghouse,  which  was 
crowded  with  people  of  all  denominations  assembled  to  see  and 
hear  the  unfamiliar  but  impressive  service.     The  meeting  was 

9 


130  History  of  Andover. 

conducted  by  a  priest  from  Connecticut,  who  was  zealously  min- 
istering to  the  spiritual  needs  of  the  Catholic  laborers  along  the 
line  of  the  Northern  Railway,  from  Franklin  to  West  Lebanon. 
Since  that  period  services  have  been  held  frequently  in  town  by 
Catholic  priests  from  neighboring  cities  and  towns. 


SCHOOLS  IX  ANDOVER. 

PUBLIC    SCHOOLS. 

On  the  "plan"  of  the  township  (then  New  Breton)  made  and 
approved  in  1753,  there  were  three  divisions  marked  "School 
Lots,"  and  numbered  17  W.  and  17  E.  in  first  range  and  17  in 
third  range.  These  lots,  two  of  which  contained  about  one 
hundred  acres,  and  one  about  eighty  acres,  were  drawn  and  set 
apart  on  July  4,  1753,  for  the  future  benefit  of  the  schools  in  the 
township. 

August  16,  1779,  the  town  voted  to  sell  school  lot  No.  17,  and 
lay  out  the  money  for  "schooling."  But,  apparently,  the  lot 
was  not  sold  till  June  19,  1810. 

The  first  settlement  in  town  w^as  made  in  1761  and  for  many 
years  the  population  increased  so  slowly  that  no  schools  were  pro- 
vided until  1781.

1786.     The  town  raised  £15  for  schooling. 

1789.     March  19.     The  town  "appropriated  75  dollars  to  hire

This  year  hired  eleven  schoolmasters,  as  follows:

1789.     March  16.     "Voted  not  to  raise  money  for  schooling."' 

In  1714  the  following  action  of  the  Legislature  provided  for 
the  support  of  churches  and  schools : 

And  it  is  hereby  further  enacted  and  Ordained  that  for  building  and 
repairing  of  meeting-houses  schoolhouses  and  allowing  a  sallary  to  a 
Schoolmaster  of  each  Town  within  this  province  The  Selectmen  in  their 
respective  Towns  shall  raise  money  by  an  equal  Rate  and  assessment 
upon  the  Inhabitants  in  such  manner  and  form  as  they  doe  for  defray- 
ing of  other  Town  charges.  And  every  Town  within  this  Province  shall 
from  and  after  the  publication  hereof  Provide  a  schoolmaster  for  the 
supply  of  the  Town. 

In  June,  1789,  all  the  school  laws  of  New  Hampshire  were  re- 
pealed and  a  new  code  enacted.  The  support  of  schools  was  pro- 
vided for  in  the  following  item: 

In  each  town  an  assessment  to  be  computed  at  the  rate  of  five  pounds 
for  every  twenty  shillings  of  their  proportion  of  public  Taxes,  for  the 
time  being,  and  so  for  a  greater  or  Lesser  sum. 

The  Andover  schools  were  supported  by  the  school  tax  pro- 
vided by  this  statute;  to  which  was  added,  from  j-ear  to  year, 
such  extra  appropriations  as  seemed  desirable. 

1791.  "Voted  to  raise  150  dollars  to  Hire  Schooling." 

' '  This  year  the  river  people,  so  called,  have  received  their  pro- 


Public  Schools.  133 

portion  of  the  school  money  up  to  the  A^ear  1791."  Two  schools 
-and  two  teachers  this  year. 

A  law  passed  in  1719  required  each  town  with  fifty  or  more 
householders  to  be  constantly  provided  with  a  schoolmaster  to 
teach  reading  and  writing-.  Andover  complied  with  the  law  as 
soon  as  the  means  of  its  inhabitants  would  permit. 

jNIost  of  the  earlier  children  born  in  Andover  received  their 
education  at  the  fireside.  They  learned  to  write  on  birch  bark, 
read  the  New  England  Primer,  the  Bible  and  the  Psalter.  It 
should  be  recorded  here  that  an  inspection  of  the  letters  and 
records  of  the  day  will  show  that  the  penmanship  was  quite  as 
good  as  that  of  the  present  day.  The  writer  has  seen  the  work  of 
Ephraim  Eastman's  pen,  from  1800  to  1830,  which  probably  can- 
not be  equaled  by  any  person  in  town  today. 

The  spelling  of  that  time  was  unique,  but  considering  the 
means  for  acquiring  a  knowledge  of  orthography,  the  output  was 
quite  as  good  as  most  of  it  at  the  present  time. 

There  were  few  or  no  arithmetics,  and  as  late  as  1815  or  1820, 
the  arithmetic  "rules"  and  the  "sums"  given  for  solution,  were 
all  in  manuscript.  Much  of  this  work  in  neatness  and  character 
would  put  to  shame  the  work  of  our  much-praised  schools  of  the 
present  day.  Dillworth's  spelling  book  came  into  use  about 
1770.  After  the  Revolutionary  War  English  grammar  was  in- 
troduced into  the  schools  as  a  standard  study,  and  geography  was 
taught  in  some  schools.  It  is  believed  that  Ash's  grammar  was 
the  first  text -book  on  that  subject  used  in  the  town  schools. 

1793.  "Voted  to  raise  £30  for  supporting  a  school  the  ensuing 

year  exclusive  of  what  the  town  is  obliged  to  raise  by 
order  of  the  state. ' ' 

1794.  The  town  raised  £15  for  support  of  schools. 

1795.  The  town  raised  £30  for  support  of  schools. 

1797.     March  20,  "Voted  to  raise  200  dollars  for  the  support  of 
schools  in  addition  to  what  is  raised  by  law. ' ' 
"Voted  the  selectmen  be  a  committee  to  set  the  town  ofif 

into  school  districts." 
"Voted  that  each  district  build  their  own  schoolhouse. " 
1799.     December  2,  Voted  to  divide  the  town  into  school  districts ; 
and  "Jonathan  Cilley,  John  TirreU  and  Willard  Emery 
were  chosen  a  committee  to  district  off  the  town." 
(See  article  on  school  districts.)

us  to  raise  for  schools. ' ' 
180-4.     Eaised  $100  for  the  support  of  schools. 

1804.  The  town  appointed,  in  the  various  school  districts 
school-tax  collectors,  whose  duties  were  similar  to  those  per- 
formed hy  prudential  committees  at  a  later  date,  except  that  the- 
school-tax  collectors  collected  the  school  taxes  in  their  respective- 
districts.     These  officers  were : 

James  Pike  in  the  "River"  district. 

Moses  Brown  in  Lieutenant  Blake's  district. 

Charles  Hilton  in  the  "Mill"  district. 

Joseph  Philbrick  in  Esquire  Weare's  district. 

Jacob  Rowe  in  Southeast  district. 

Stephen  Tucker  in  "Mountain"  district. 

Jonathan  Cilley  in  "South  Side  of  Pond"  district. 

Jonathan  Brown  in  "Beech  Hill"  district. 

Elislia  Cilley  in  upper  Cilley  district. 

Edmund  Cilley  in  Aaron  Cilley's  district. 
The  first  schools  in  town  were  "kept"  in  dwelling  houses  and" 
frequently  in  barns  in  the  early  summer.  A  summer  school  on 
the  Emery  Road  was  held  in  a  large  apple  bin  in  a  cider  mill 
belonging  to  "Esquire  Willard  Emery."  This  school,  taught  by 
Miss  Fifield,  was  attended  by  eight  pupils.  The  teacher  was  paid 
fifty  cents  per  week  and  she  ' '  boarded  round. ' '  When  the  money 
available  for  each  school  was  a  fixed  sum  it  was  the  custom  for 
the  teacher  to  "board  round,"  staying  in  each  home  a  certain 
number  of  days  for  each  pupil  in  the  family.  By  this  method 
all  the  money  was  used  to  pa^'  the  teacher.  This  custom,  with  its- 
many  advantages  and  some  disadvantages  prevailed  until  late  in 
the  nineteenth  century.     After  the  schoolhouses  were  built  in. 


Public  Schools.  135 

the  various  districts,  the  parents  of  the  pupils  arranged  among 
themselves  at  the  "school  meetings,"  to  furnish  the  wood,  all 
prepared  for  the  fireplace  or  stove,  without  expense  to  the  dis- 
trict. Sometimes  the  wood  was  drawn  to  the  schoolhouse  in 
''sled  lengths,"  and  the  larger  boys  laid  the  foundations  for  the 
modern  school  athletics  while  reducing  the  woodpile  to  its  "low- 
est terms"  for  fuel. 

In  the  winter  the  names  of  the  older  boys  were  placed  on  a 
"fire  list,"  each  becoming  responsible  in  turn  for  making  the 
"schoolhouse"  fire  in  the  morning  in  season  to  have  the  house 
warm  by  "school  time."  By  all  this  voluntary  work,  the  money 
was  used  for  paying  the  teacher  and  lengthening  the  term  of 
school. 

For  a  number  of  years  a  weaving  room  in  the  woodshed  of  Mr. 
Anthony  Emery  was  used  as  a  schoolroom,  until  the  schoolhouse 
in  that  district  was  built,  about  1833. 

Before  the  schoolhouse  was  built  in  the  Tucker  Mountain  Dis- 
trict, the  school  was  maintained  for  a  time  in  a  shop  belonging 
to  Cutting  S.  Greeley. 

Sarah  Cilley,  born  1771,  daughter  of  first  Benjamin  in  town, 
often  related  the  fact  that,  when  she  was  of  age  to  attend  school, 
there  were  no  schools  west  of  Boston  Hill,  and  she  walked  from 
her  father's  house  at  the  Centre  to  the  only  available  school  at 
jNIr.  Rowe  's,  where  Mrs.  Jonathan  Cilley  now  lives. 

1806.     Raised  $300  for  support  of  schools. 

1809.  Rev.  Josiah  Badcock,  John  Weare  and  Ephraim  East- 
man were  chosen  a  ' '  committee  to  examine  schools  in  said  town. '  * 

1810.  The  town  sold  school  lot  No.  17  for  $190. 

In  1812  there  were  two  schoolhouses  at  East  Andover  village. 
One  was  on  or  near  the  site  of  the  district  school  building  in  1900. 
The  other,  called  the  ' '  west  side ' '  schoolhouse,  was  situated  nearly 
opposite  the  present  residence  of  Miss  Lizzie  Marston.  After- 
wards these  districts  were  united  and  the  schoolhouse  was  built 
in  1816.     This  house  was  burned  in  the  winter  of  1822- '23. 

1814.  Raised  $150  for  support  of  schools. 

1815.  Raised  $100  for  support  of  schools. 

1816.  Raised  $100  for  support  of  schools. 
In  1800  there  were  seven  (7)  school  districts. 
In  1808  there  were  eleven  (11)  school  districts. 


136  History  of  Andover. 

In  1818  there  were  fourteen  (14)  school  districts. 

In  1819  there  were  fifteen  (15)  school  districts  and  twelve 
schoolhouses. 

In  1825  there  Avere  sixteen  (16)  school  districts. 

(See  article  on  school  districts.) 

The  first  Boston  Hill  schoolhouse  stood  on  the  east  side  of  the 
cross-road  from  the  Jonathan  Cilley  place  to  Otis  R.  Connor's, 
and  nearly  opposite  the  cemetery. 

The  first  schoolhouse  at  the  Centre  village  stood  in  what  is  now 
the  southwest  corner  of  the  old  cemetery. 

The  second  schoolhouse  stood  where  Stephen  Scales  lived  (on 
the  site  of  house  now  owned  by  jNIrs.  Warren  Quimby).  It  was 
moved  by  Samuel  Butterfield  into  the  village  and  occupied  as  a 
saddler's  shop  by  Joseph  Fowler,  the  father  of  Oscar  F.  Fowler 
of  Bristol.  Afterwards  this  building  was  moved  down  near  Pet- 
tingill's  Corner  and  used  as  a  dwelling  house. 

The  tliird  schoolhouse  at  the  Centre,  built  about  1822,  was 
burned  when  the  Proctor  House  was  destroyed,  ]\Iarch  23,  1882. 

In  1810,  when  the  town  sold  one  of  the  school  lots  for  $190,  it 
was  supposed  by  many  citizens  that  the  schools  were  to  receive 
the  income  from  that  money.  It  was  used,  however,  for  the  ordi- 
nary town  expenses.  At  the  annual  town  meeting  in  1818  there 
was  an  article  in  the  warrant,  "To  see  if  the  Town  will  pass  a 
vote  to  appropriate  the  interest  of  the  'school  lots'  for  the  sup- 
port of  schools." 

During,  or  following,  a  heated  discussion  of  this  article,  the 
meeting  voted  "not  to  raise  any  money  for  the  support  of 
schools, ' '  evidently  the  result  of  pique  or  political  strategy.  This 
income  was  not  used  for  schools  until  1829.  In  1829,  Col.  Joseph 
Sweatt  was  chosen  agent  to  take  charge  of  the  town 's  share  of  the 
"Literary  Fund,"  the  school  money,  and  the  money  that  might 
be  received  for  the  school  land  in  the  possession  of  the  town.

On  March  11,  1828,  "Voted,  that  each  school  district  choose 
their  own  prudential  committees. ' '  These  committees  had  been 
chosen  formerly  at  the  town  meetings. 

In  1829,  the  remaining  "school  lot  "  was  sold,  and  the  pro- 
ceeds of  that,  and  what  was  left  from  the  sale  of  other  lots,  was 
added  to  the  town 's  share  of  the  literary  fund  and  invested.  In 
1835,  the  sum  amounted  to  $1,219.37,  and  the  income  has  since 
been  used  for  the  support  of  schools. 

THE  TYLER  SCHOOL. 

About  1820  a  private  school  of  an  advanced  grade  was  main- 
tained by  Mr.  Benjamin  M.  Tyler  in  Rev.  Josiah  Badcock's  hall. 
The  school  was  first  located  in  the  hall  of  Joseph  Philbrick's 
house,  but  was  soon  moved  to  the  house  of  Mr.  Badcock.  The 
pupils,  averaging  about  fifty  each  term,  were  from  Andover  and 
the  neighboring  towns  and  the  school  was  successful  from  the 
start.  This  was  the  first  attempt  to  maintain  a  higher  course  of 
instruction  than  existed  in  the  public  schools  of  the  town  and 
evidently  led  to  the  establishment  of  the  Noyes  School  and  the 
later  academies. 

Mr.  Tyler  had  been  a  student,  and  afterwards  a  teacher  in  the 
military  school  of  Capt.  Alden  Partridge  in  Middletown,  Conn. 
Soon  after  he  came  to  Andover  he  engaged  in  mercantile  busi- 
ness, but  with  indifferent  success,  and  finally  turned  his  attention 
to  teaching,  in  which  he  was  notably  successful.  In  1846  his 
health  became  impaired  and  he  gave  up  teaching  to  accept  a  posi- 
tion as  civil  engineer  on  the  Northern  Railroad,  then  under  con- 
struction from  Concord  to  AVhite  River  Junction.     He  died  in

Franklin,  Januaiy  9,  1847,  and  was  interred  in  the  Franklin- 
Cemetery. 

SCHOOL    TEACHERS. 

It  is  a  "  far  cry ' '  from  the  well-equipped  modern  school  build- 
ing sheltering  pupils,  arranged  according  to  a  graded  system  and 
managed  by  competent  teachers,  back  120  years  to  a  dingy  room, 
or  an  "apple  bin"  in  a  cider  mill,  giving  some  protection  from 
the  weather  to  a  group  of  eight  children  and  a  teacher.  We  may 
never  know  the  exact  dates,  details  and  methods  of  all  the  trials,, 
sacrifices  and  successes  that  give  the  pupil  of  today  the  rich  fruit- 
age of  this  development,  but  we  must  acknowledge  that  the  result 
is  due  mainly  to  the  earnest,  unselfish  and  often  unappreciated 
labors  of  those  teachers  who  have  looked  forward  and  not  back- 
ward, and  have  given  their  best  that  others  might  see  the  light 
of  awakened  aspirations. 

James  Randall,  Sarah  Eastman  and  ^Nliss  Fifield  were  the 
pioneer  teachers.  Eandall  married  Margaret  Fellows,  the  first 
white  girl  born  in  Andover.  It  has  been  said  that  he  was  well 
described  in  John  G.  Saxe's  ballad  of  "Ye  Pedagogue." 

Right  learned  is  ye  Pedagogue, 

Pull  apt  to  read  and  spelle, 
And  eke  to  teach  ye  parts  of  speeche, 

And  strap  ye  urchins  welle.

For  welle  to  rule  ye  District  Schoole.

THE  NOTES  SCHOOL. 

Joseph  Noyes  was  born  in  Hampstead,  in  1764,  and  began  busi- 
ness in  early  life  in  Haverhill. 

On  leaving  Haverhill  he  came  to  Salisbury,  settling  on  a 
farm  in  that  portion  of  the  town  subsequently  included  in  the 
town  of  Franklin.  This  farm  was  known  as  the  Noyes  farm  and 
was  afterwards  occupied  by  L.  D.  Davenport.  After  the  house- 
on  the  farm  was  burned,  Noyes  moved  to  the  village  on  the  west 
side  of  the  river,  now  Franklin,  and  opened  a  store  in  the  base- 
ment of  his  house.  His  domestic  life  was  very  unhappy;  his  wife" 
was  extravagant  and  contracted  debts  without  his  knowledge,  and 
a  separation  resulted.  He  became  involved  in  quarrels  with  his- 
neighbors  and,  declaring  that  his  property  should  no  longer  con- 
tribute to  the  support  of  that  community,  he  moved  up  the  river' 
into  Andover,  on  a  farm  where  he  resided  until  his  death  on 
December  23,  1818.  This  farm  was  afterwards  occupied  by 
Simeon  Brown. 

Mr.  Noyes  was  a  shrewd,  industrious,  business  man  who,  by 
economy  and  thrift  accumulated  what  at  that  time  w^as  accounted 
a  comfortable  fortune.  He  left  three  children :  Joseph,  Thomas 
Jefferson  and  Lucy. 

The  people  of  Andover  and  vicinity  were  especially  interested 
in  the  following  clause  in  his  will : 

Item  4  I  do  hereby  direct  my  executor  to  take  $10000.00  out  of  my 
persomil  property  and  bank  stock,  and  appropriate  it  for  the  support- 


140  History  of  Andover. 

of  a  public  school;  said  school  to  be  under  the  direction  of  six  direct- 
ors, who  shall  at  first  be  appointed  by  my  executor,  and  after  that  they 
shall  fill  their  own  vacancies.  The  house  for  said  school  to  be  built  on 
the  farm  on  which  I  now  live,  which  farm  I  also  give  and  bequeath  for 
the  support  of  said  school;  said  school  to  be  denominated  "Noyes 
School." 

In  accordance  with  this  clause  of  the  will  the  executor,  Kobert 
Barber,  appointed  the  following  directors:  Josiah  Badcock, 
William  Proctor,  Silas  Merrill,  John  Simonds,  John  Joseph  Bry- 
ant and  Kobert  Barber. 

An  act  to  incorporate  the  directors  of  the  Xoyes  School  in  the 
town  of  Andover,  was  passed  by  the  Legislature,  and  approved 
June  21,  1822.  A  large,  old-style,  one-story  schoolhouse  was 
built  in  1822,  on  the  Noyes  farm,  nearly  opposite  the  dwelling 
house,  and  the  school  was  opened  in  1823  under  the  manage- 
ment of  Benjamin  M.  Tyler  of  Andover,  as  principal. 

For  five  years  the  school  was  very  successfully  maintained,  to 
the  great  credit  of  the  principal  and  directors.  The  Noyes  resi- 
dence was  converted  into  a  boarding-house  and  was  always  filled 
with  an  excellent  class  of  students.  Considering  all  the  condi- 
tions, this  was  probably  the  most  successful  school  during  its 
existence,  ever  maintained  in  the  town. 

When  Joseph,  the  eldest  son  of  ]\Ir.  Noyes,  became  of  age,  in 
1826,  he  instituted  a  suit  to  break  the  will,  on  the  ground  that  the 
testator  was  not  sane.  There  was  a  long  and  bitter  legal  contest 
ending,  in  1828,  in  the  breaking  of  the  will,  the  destruction  of  the 
school  and  the  distribution  of  the  property  among  the  heirs. 

The  friends  of  a  better  education  in  the  community  were  un- 
willing to  lose  the  services  of  Mr.  Tyler  as  a  teacher,  and  plans 
were  soon  matured  for  building  the  tAvo-story  brick  building  in 
Franklin  village  now  long  known  as  "the  academy."  This 
building  was  finished  and  occupied  in  1830.  The  institution  was 
chartered  in  1831,  as  "The  Instructor's  School,"  and  Mr.  Tyler 
was  the  principal  until  his  resignation  in  1846. 

The  name  of  this  school  clearly  indicates  its  main  idea,  the 
training  of  teachers,  and,  so  far  as  now  known,  it  was  the  first  of 
its  kind  in  this  part  of  the  country.  It  was  well  supported  by 
the  community  and  its  success  had  no  small  influence  in  the  early 
liistorv  of  Franklin.

At  a  "  sewing  circle ' '  held  at  the  house  of  Samuel  Butterfield^ 
Esq.,  in  the  spring  of  1848,  Mrs.  Butterfield  made  Icnown  to  sev- 
eral of  her  friends  her  strong  desire  for  the  establishment  of  a 
school  of  much  higher  grade  than  at  that  time  existed  in  the 
town.  Her  suggestions  were  favorably  received  and  were  ear- 
nestly discussed  at  that  meeting.  The  scheme  met  with  general 
approbation  and  plans  were  so  rapidly  matured  that  on  June  23^ 
1848,  the  governor  approved  the  following  act  of  incorporation: 

In  the  year  of  our  Lord  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and  forty-eight, 
an  act  to  incorporate  the  Andover  Academy. 
Be  it  enacted  by  the  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives  in  General

Approved  June  23,  1848. 

At  the  first  meeting  of  the  incorporators  Samuel  Butterfield 
was  chosen  president;  Walcott  Hamlin,  secretary,  and  Samuel 
Butterfield,  John  Fellows  and  True  Brown  an  executive  com- 
mittee. 

The  proprietors  of  the  church  at  the  Centre  village  transferred 
the  second  stor}^  of  their  building  to  the  corporation  for  the  use 
of  the  academy,  and  the  necessary  funds  for  fitting  that  portion 
of  the  building  for  school  purposes  were  furnished  by  the  citizens 
of  that  vicinity. 

In  August,  1848,  the  academy  was  opened,  with  Dyer  H.  San- 
born as  principal  and  Miss  Eliza  Wingate  of  Great  Falls,  as  pre- 
ceptress. 

]Mrs.  Butterfield  presented  to  the  school  enough  philosophical 
apparatus  for  use  in  elementary  instruction. 

The  catalogue  for  the  first  term  showed  the  attendance  of  108 
pupils,  of  whom  forty-three  were  young  ladies. 

Provision  was  made  for  four  terms  annually,  of  twelve  weeks 
each.  The  rates  of  tuition  "per  quarter"  were,  "three  dollars 
for  common  branches;  three  dollars  and  fifty  cents  for  higher 
English  branches  and  languages;  drawing  and  painting,  one  to 
three  dollars;  needlework,  two  dollars;  music,  eight  dollars,  and 
two  cents  per  week  for  each  pupil  for  incidental  expenses. ' ' 

Mr.  Sanborn  was  a  popular  instructor  and  the  school  was  well 
patronized.  He  resigned  in  the  spring  of  1849,  and  in  July  of 
that  year  Moses  Leland  Morse,  a  graduate  of  Bowdoin  College, 
was  chosen  principal  and  remained  in  charge  of  the  academy 


Public  Schools.  143 

until  August,  1851.  Miss  Louisa  J.  Clark  of  Franklin  and  Miss 
Hannah  J.  Sanborn  of  Sanbornton,  were  assistants  during  those 
two  years. 

Under  the  management  of  Mr.  Morse  the  school  prospered  and 
the  catalogue  issued  in  April,  1851,  showed  an  attendance  of  252 
pupils  for  the  school  year  1850- '51. 

The  courses  of  study  were  greatly  enlarged  under  the  direction 
of  ]Mr.  Morse  and  several  young  men,  Woodbury  F.  Langdon, 
Plymouth;  Luther  Puffer,  Sudburj^  ]\lass.,  and  John  "W.  Si- 
monds  of  Franklin,  took  up  advanced  studies  and  entered  Bow- 
doin  College.  Mr.  Simonds  was  an  assistant  to  Mr.  Morse  for 
one  year.  About  this  time  considerable  chemical  apparatus  was 
obtained  and  the  school  was  materially  strengthened  by  the 
income  of  a  guaranty  fund  of  $3,000. 

Mr.  Morse  resigned  in  1851  and  Thaddeus  W.  Bruce,  a  gradu- 
.ate  of  Dartmouth  College,  was  chosen  principal,  with  Miss  Marcia 
E.  Foster  as  assistant. 

George  Dustan,  also  a  graduate  of  Dartmouth  College,  suc- 
ceeded Mr.  Bruce  in  August,  1853,  with  ]\Iiss  Lucy  Marsh  as  as- 
sistant. The  school  was  well  sustained  under  the  direction  of 
Mr.  Dustan;  the  catalogue  issued  in  April,  1854,  showing  the 
names  of  205  students.  Several  young  men  finished  the  college 
preparatory  course. 

John  "W.  Allard,  a  graduate  of  Dartmouth  College,  succeeded 
]\Ir.  Dustan  in  August,  1854.  The  fall  term  was  broken  up  by 
an  outbreak  of  smallpox  in  the  village.  Luther  Puffer,  a  former 
student,  and  at  one  time  a  temporary  teacher  in  the  academy, 
died  of  the  disease.  The  school  was  scattered,  discontinued  for 
more  than  two  years  and  ceased  to  exist  as  Andover  Academy. 

The  catalogues  for  the  fall  term  in  1848,  the  fall  term  in  1849 
and  for  the  years  1850- '51,  1852- '53  and  1853- '54,  are  all  of  the 
early  catalogues  that  the  writer  has  found,  but  these  will  give  a 
fair  idea  of  what  the  academy  represented  half  a  century  ago. 

The  following  boards  of  instruction  are  copied  from  those  cata- 
logues :

146  History  of  Andover. 

The  following  table  exhibits  the  five  catalogues  of  students  for 
the  fall  of  1848,  the  fall  of  1849  and  for  the  years  1850- '51, 
1852- '53  and  1853- '54,  in  condensed  form.  The  name  of  every 
student  found  in  those  catalogues  is  given,  with  residence. 

Five  columns  are  added,  one  for  each  catalogue  or  year,  and 
an  asterisk  opposite  any  student's  name,  in  any  column,  indicates 
the  attendance  of  such  student  in  that  year. 

The  division  of  the  students  into  two  classes,  those  studying 
ancient  and  modern  languages,  and  those  studying  English 
branches,  is  maintained  the  same  as  in  the  original  catalogues. 

Several  names  will  be  found  in  both  classes,  since  students  be- 
gan their  studies  in  the  English  department  and  finally  passed 
on  to  that  of  the  ancient  and  modern  languages.  The  change 
sometimes  occurred  in  the  same  year.

At  a  meeting  of  the  trustees  on  October  26,  1855,  John  M. 
Shirley  was  chosen  secretary  and  Samuel  Butterfield  remained 
president  of  the  board. 

John  Fellows  suggested  a  plan  for  re-opening  the  academy  un- 
der the  auspices  of  the  Christian  conferences;  and  it  was  voted 
to  "offer  the  corporate  property  of  the  Andover  Academy  to  the 
Christian  Conferences  in  New  England  for  the  purpose  of  open- 
ing a  school  there." 

At  a  meeting  held  February  1,  1856,  Rev.  John  Burden,  Rev. 
Timothy  Cole,  Rev.  Daniel  P.  Pike  and  Rev.  "William  H.  Nason, 
were  chosen  trustees.  On  July  27,  1856,  by  a  vote  of  the  trus- 
tees, the  property  and  appurtenances  of  the  Andover  Academy 
were  transferred  to  the  members  of  the  New  England  Christian 
Conferences.  Hon.  Samuel  Butterfield  continued  as  president 
and  John  M.  Shirley  as  secretary  of  the  board  of  trustees.  Rev. 
Timothy  Cole,  Rev.  John  Burden  and  Rev.  William  H.  Nason 
were  chosen  an  executive  committee. 

In  December,  1856,  the  trustees  voted  to  repair  the  academy 
building,  build  two  wings,  giving  four  recitation  rooms  and  open 
the  school  on  the  third  Wednesday  in  Februarj^,  1857. 

On  the  day  appointed  the  school  was  opened,  under  the  name 
of  the  "New  England  Christian  Literary  and  Biblical  Institute." 
0.  D.  Barrett,  A.  B.,  John  Wesley  Simonds,  A.  B.,  and  Miss 
Delia  E.  Payne  were  the  teachers.  At  the  close  of  the  first  term 
Mr.  Barrett  and  Miss  Payne  resigned  and  Mr.  Simonds  became 
the  principal,  with  Dr.  George  0.  Dalton,  A.  M.,  and  ]\Iiss  Mary 
J,  Ambrose  as  assistants  for  one  year. 

Rev.  A.  H.  Martin,  Nathan  S.  Morrison  and  Rev.  Seth  Hinck- 


Public  Schools.  155 

ley  constituted  the  executive  committee  for  the  second  year.  A 
catalogue  issued  in  October,  1857,  contained  the  names  of  196 
students. 

Mr.  Simonds  remained  as  principal  until  the  end  of  the  sum- 
mer term  of  1858.  At  this  time  the  school  was  well  organized, 
the  instruction  was  thorough  and  four  graduates  entered  college. 

In  September,  1858,  John  Proctor  was  chosen  one  of  the  ex- 
ecutive committee.  At  this  time  the  school  had  no  fund,  and  a . 
debt  of  $600  had  been  incurred  for  meeting  current  expenses. 
In  consequence  of  this  financial  condition  the  school  was  sus- 
pended for  about  two  terms,  and  an  effort  was  made  to  raise  a 
permanent   fund. 

For  the  three  terms  ending  in  November,  1859,  Kev.  S.  W. 
Whitney  was  in  charge  of  the  school. 

In  August,  1860,  Rev.  John  W.  Haley  was  chosen  principal 
and  remained  one  year. 

In  October,  1860,  the  management  of  the  school  was  restricted 
to  the  New  Hampshire  Christian  Conference  and  its  name  was- 
changed  to  "Andover  Christian  Institute."  Rev.  John  Burden 
was  chosen  president  of  the  trustees,  John  ]\I.  Shirley,  secretary, 
Albert  G.  ]\Iorrison,  treasurer,  and  John  Proctor,  Rev.  John  Bur- 
den and  Joseph  Smith,  executive  committee. 

In  1861  John  M.  Shirley  resigned  the  position  of  secretary 
and  was  succeeded  by  Joseph  W.  Fellows. 

A  bequest  of  $1,000  from  Mrs.  Susan  Noyes  of  Franklin,  with 
gifts  from  other  friends  of  the  school  amounting  to  $500,  was 
received  about  this  time. 

The  act  incorporating  the  Andover  Academy  was  amended  by 
an  act  of  the  Legislature,  approved  June  27,  1861,  limiting  the 
permanent  fund  to  $50,000  and  providing  for  the  election  of 
trustees  and  for  the  management  of  the  funds. 

In  1861,  Rev.  Thomas  Bartlett  was  chosen  principal  and  re- 
mained until  November,  1865,  when  the  school  was  closed. 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  trustees,  in  1865,  it  was  decided 
to  discontinue  the  school  at  Andover.  At  this  time  the  corpora- 
tion had  a  fund  of  about  $2,500. 

In  June,  1866,  the  institute  was  transferred  to  Wolfeborough,_ 
and  the  name  changed  to  the  "  Wolf eborough  Christian  Insti- 
tute."    The  school  opened  in  September,  1866,  and,  with  vary- 


156  History  of  Andover. 

ing  success,  continued  till  December,  1873,  when  it  was  formally 
discontinued  by  an  almost  unanimous  vote  of  the  trustees. 

A  committee  consisting  of  John  W.  Simonds  of  Franklin,  Per- 
son C.  Shaw  of  Hill  and  0.  J.  Wait  of  Franklin,  were  appointed 
to  receive  proposals  for  locating  the  school.  At  that  time  the  en- 
dowment fund  amounted  to  $9,259.12,  and  the  debt  was  $2,656. 

On  the  26th  of  June,  1874,  the  governor  approved  an  act  of  the 
Legislature  reviving  the  original  charter  of  June  23,  1848,  and 
authorizing  John  Proctor,  John  M.  Shirley  and  Xathan  Wood- 
bury, Jr.,  or  any  two  of  them,  to  call  a  meeting  of  the  corporation 
for  the  transaction  of  any  business. 

About  that  time  a  proposition  was  received  from  the  citizens 
■of  Andover  Centre  for  the  location  of  the  school  once  more  in  that 
village. 

The  proposal  was  accompanied  bj'-  the  offer  of  the  academy 
building  and  other  property,  and  the  sum  of  $4,000  for  enlarging 
and  repairing  the  building.  This  offer  was  accepted  and  the 
school  was  re-located  at  Andover  Centre  in  July,  1874,  under  the 
name  of  Proctor  Academy,  in  honor  of  John  Proctor,  its  most 
liberal  benefactor.  The  school  began,  under  the  new  manage- 
ment, in  August,  1874,  and  during  the  fall  term  occupied  the 
hall  in  the  ''Moulton"  Hotel.  The  repairs  were  so  far  com- 
pleted that  the  examinations  at  the  end  of  the  term  were  held 
in  the  academy  building. 

During  the  first  year  the  school  was  under  the  supervision  of 
John  W.  Simonds,  who  was  the  secretary  of  the  board  of  trustees 
and  one  of  the  executive  committee.  The  endowment  fund  then 
amounted  to  $8,000  above  all  indebtedness,  exclusive  of  the  be- 
quest, of  $1,000  from  Col.  Joseph  Sweatt  of  Franklin,  formerly 
a  citizen  of  Andover,  and  the  sum  of  $500  from  Watson  Dick- 
erson,  late  of  East  Andover. 

Notwithstanding  the  favorable  outlook,  the  school  did  not 
realize  the  hopes  of  its  friends.  Grave  differences  arose  in  the 
board  of  trustees  and  the  vitality  of  the  school  steadily  declined, 
after  the  first  year,  until  the  spring  of  1879,  when  it  was  plain 
that  it  could  not  continue  under  the  existing  management.  Nine 
thousand  dollars  of  the  fund  had  been  lost  by  the  failure  of  the 
treasurer. 

In  1879  all  interests  in  the  academy  property  were  transferred 


Public  Schools.  15" 

to  an  association  representing  the  educational  interests  of  the 
Unitarian  denomination  in  New  Hampshire,  and  still  remains 
under  the  supervision  of  that  denomination,  retaining  the  name 
of  Proctor  Academy.  With  this  change  ended  the  efforts  of  the 
Christian  denomination,  for  twenty-two  years,  to  maintain  an 
academic  institution  in  New  England. 

For  twenty-three  years  an  academy  had  existed  in  Andover, 
under  three  different  names,  and  while  the  citizens  had  contrib- 
uted liberally,  according  to  their  means,  to  its  support,  they,  with 
the  people  of  the  neighboring  towns,  had  reaped  a  rich  reward 
for  their  wise  beneficence.  A  long  and  notable  list  of  the  sons 
and  daughters  of  Andover  and  vicinity  had  there  received,  not 
only  the  training  and  culture  that  fitted  them  for  teachers  and 
the  duties  of  good  citizenship,  but  that  stimulus  which  led  them 
further  into  the  wider  fields  of  professional  and  active  investiga- 
tion. 

During  the  fall  term  of  187-1,  IMiss  Annie  P.  Little  of  Concord 
was  the  teacher,  with  eighteen  pupils. 

In  the  following  year  Frank  E.  Adams  of  Hill  and  ^Nliss  Annie 
P.  Little  were  the  teachers,  with  about  fifty  pupils. 

In  1876,  Alvah  H.  INIorrill  and  ]\Iiss  Lucy  A.  Rowell  were  the 
teachers.     Henry  ]\Ielville  taught  for  a  part  of  1878. 

In  1878,  ]Mr.  B.  A.  Field  became  principal,  with  ^Nlabel  S. 
Emery  as  assistant,  and  remained  until  the  school  passed  into 
the  hands  of  the  Unitarian  Educational  Society  and  became 
known   as  Proctor  Academy. 

In  the  fall  term  of  1878  there  were  twenty-two  pupils.  George 
W.  Stone,  assisted  by  Mary  A.  Putney,  had  charge  of  the  acad- 
emy in  a  part  of  1879- '80. 

In  1880,  the  school  opened  under  the  management  of  the  LTni- 
tarian  Educational  Society,  with  Herbert  B.  Dow,  a  graduate  of 
Harvard  College,  as  principal,  assisted  by  Miss  Ednah  D.  Emer- 
son. He  was  succeeded,  in  1881,  by  W.  J.  Lloyd,  with  ]\Irs. 
Lloyd  as  assistant. 

In  1883,  Mr.  Dow  returned  and  remained  in  charge  until  the 
end  of  the  spring  term  in  1887.  Mr.  Dow's  assistants  in  1883 
Avere  Andrew  Nichols,  Jr.,  Emily  W.  Tapley  and  Helen  M.  Per- 
kins. In  1884,  he  was  assisted  by  IMisses  Tapley  and  Perkins, 
and  in  1884- '85  bv  the  same  ladies  and  Charles  S.  Paige.     From

Misses  Lillie  j\I.  Packard,  Luella  H.  Scales  and  Helen  M.  Per- 
kins.    Albert  A.  Beal  was  an  assistant  in  1886. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  fall  term  in  1887,  Frank  K.  Gifford, 
A.  B.,  became  principal,  with  Misses  E.  ]\Iabelle  Farman,  Edith 
S.  Gushing,  Luella  H.  Scales  and  Helen  M.  Perkins  as  assistants. 
From  1883  to  1888,  the  average  number  of  pupils  at  each  term 
-was  forty-six.

THE  HIGHLAND  LAKE  INSTITUTE. 

Early  in  the  year  1850,  citizens  of  the  East  village  and  vicinity 
interested  in  education,  and  anxious  to  secure  its  benefits  in  their 
part  of  the  town,  raised  by  subscription  a  fund  sufficient  to  erect 
a  building  to  be  used  as  an  academy.  The  following  subscrip- 
tion paper,  dated  March  23,  1850,  received  the  signatures  of 
about  fifty  people: 

We,  the  subscribers,  will  pay  the  several  sums  set  against  our  names 
respectively  for  the  erection  of  a  building  at  East  Andover  of  suitable 
size,  furnished  for  an  Academy  and  other  purposes,  to  be  divided  into 
shares  of  five  dollars  each,  each  shareholder  to  be  entitled  to  vote, 
according  to  number  of  shares,  in  all  matters  in  relation  to  the  building 
and  locating  said  house  and  all  other  matters  touching  the  interest  of 
the  same.  No  subscription  to  be  paid  unless  a  sufficient  amount  be 
subscribed. 

The  land  for  the  site  was  given  by  Joseph  Osgood.  The 
amounts  subscribed  were  paid  either  in  money,  labor  or  material, 
for  which  certificates  of  stock  were  issued ;  100  shares  of  $5  each. 
A  deed  of  the  land  on  which  the  building  now  stands  was  ob- 
tained ^lay  28  and  an  organization  was  soon  formed,  known  as 
the  East  Andover  High  School  Association,  with  the  following 
officers:  President,  Rev.  D.  Sydney  Frost;  secretary,  George  E. 
Emery ;  treasurer,  Joseph  Osgood ;  executive  committee,  Jeremy 
Y.  Bryant,  Joseph  A.  Eowe,  Caleb  Cross,  Thomas  Haley,  Will- 
iam A.  Bachelder,  Joseph  Osgood  and  George  E.  Emery. 

The  building  was  immediately  erected  and  the  first  term  of  the 
Highland  Lake  Institute  was  held  in  the  autumn  of  1850,  with 
the  following  instructors:  Lyman  ^Marshall,  A.  B.,  principal; 
]Miss  Eliza  Wingate,  preceptress;  Rev.  D.  Sydney  Frost,  teacher 
of  chirography.  The  examining  committee  consisted  of:  X.  B. 
Bryant,  Bristol;  Rev.  D.  Sydney  Frost,  Rev.  Reuben  Dearborn, 
Andover;  David  Cross,  ]\Ianchester ;  and  George  E.  Emery,  Dan-

vers,  Mass.  Eighty-six  i)iii)ils  liiid  been  ciiiolk'd  at  the  close  of 
the  first  term,  November  5,  1850. 

At  the  next  election,  Willard  I]mery  was  chosen  president  and 
Rev,  Reuben  Dearborn  and  AVatson  Dickerson  were  chosen  vice- 
presidents. 

At  the  next  term  Thomas  Marshall  and  ]\Iilon  Graves  were  em- 
ployed as  assistants.  George  W.  Murray  was  the  teacher  of 
music.  D.  P.  Putnam  lectured  on  anatomy  and  physiology. 
William  P.  Hammond  was  the  teacher  of  penmanship.  A  normal 
class  was  formed  for  instruction  in  the  science  of  teaching. 

In  1851,  the  institute  had  143  students,  representing  thirty 
towns  in  New  Hampshire  and  four  New  England  states. 

In  1852,  Rev.  C.  M.  Dinsmore  became  principal ;  Miss  Letitia 
J.  Shaw,  preceptress;  George  S.  Rawson,  ]M.  D.,  lecturer  on 
anatomy  and  physiology;  Samuel  G.  Haley,  teacher  of  penman- 
ship. In  November,  W.  A.  Bachelder  succeeded  George  E. 
Emery  as  secretary. 

In  1853,  Rev.  Nathan  F.  Carter  became  principal ;  Miss  Shaw 
remained  as  preceptress ;  Miss  Mary  J.  Cross  was  assistant  in  fall 
term ;  Miss  Marilla  J.  Butler  was  teacher  of  music. 

Soon  after  1853  the  interest  of  many  of  the  former  friends  of 
the  institute  began  to  abate,  financial  support  by  the  citizens  in 
the  immediate  vicinity  failed  in  a  marked  manner  and,  after 
languishing  for  several  months,  the  school  was  abandoned  in 
1855.

STOREKEEPERS. 

According  to  the  custom  of  this  section  of  the  country,  one 
hundred  years  ago,  the  merchants  of  this  town  were  generally 
known  as  "storekeepers,"  and  the  name,  in  spite  of  the  great 
changes  in  the  management  of  such  business,  has  continued  to 
this  day. 

In  the  early  history  of  the  town,  and  down  to  the  advent  of 
the  railroad,  the  business  of  the  storekeeper  combined  that  of 
the  dry  goods  merchant,  the  grocer  and  the  dealer  in  "country 
produce."  Sugar,  molasses.  West  India  and  New  England  rum 
and  spices  were  the  principal  groceries.  The  beef,  pork,  lard, 
butter  and  cheese  from  the  farms,  and  the  products  from  the 
many  linen  and  woolen  spinning  wheels,  and  from  the  domestic 
looms  in  the  skillful  hands  of  the  housewives  or  their  daughters 
amply  supplied  the  full  stream  of  commerce  that  flowed  into  the 
markets  of  Boston,  Salem,  Newburyport  and  Portsmouth. 

In  the  first  half  of  the  nineteenth  century  the  country  store- 
keeper enjoyed  some  advantages  which,  in  these  days  of  the 
commercial  traveller,  the  modern  merchant  does  not  improve. 
The  country  trader  usually  made  two  journeys  annually  to  the 
wholesale  markets  to  make  his  purchases  for  the  next  six  months. 
The  leisurely  trip  to  the  city  afforded  ample  opportunity  for 
seeing  the  country,  meeting  his  fellow-travellers,  studying  the 
people  and  the  towns  along  the  route  and  finally  meeting  the 
wholesale  merchant  with  whom  he  had  already  established  busi- 
ness relations  on  the  broad  plane  of  mutual  interest  and  respect.' 
Such  meetings  were  beneficial  to  both  parties.  The  merchant 
studied  the  temper  and  quality  of  his  country  purchasers  and 
learned  of  new  sources  of  trade  that  might  strengthen  the  pros- 
perity of  his  own  business,  while  the  country  storekeeper  of 
intelligence  and  probity  got  his  news  and  impressions  at  first

162  History  of  Andover. 

It  is  not  easy  at  the  present  day  to  give  the  names  of  the  own- 
ers or  the  agents  of  all,  or  even  a  large  part,  of  the  stores  in  the 
early  years  of  the  town's  history.  The  first  stores  Avere  in  or 
about  the  locality  now  known  as  the  village  of  East  Andover  and 
were  generally  on  or  near  the  road  which  now  runs  from  the 
railroad  station  towards  ''Barnard's"  corner.  Peletiah  Corliss 
had  a  store  near  the  site  of  the  Pevear  block.  Theophilus  Blake 
and  Jedediah  Judkins,  and  Harvey  and  Stickney  were  among 
the  early  storekeepers,  but  the  dates  of  their  activities  are  not 
knoAATi.  The  David  Chase  store  was  about  where  the  house  of 
Mrs.  James  E.  Kilburn  now  stands.  The  store  occupied  by 
Theophilus  Blake  and  Jedediah  Judkins  was  near  the  Caleb 
Cross  place.  Harvey  and  Stickney  were  near  Charles  Yeaton's 
place.  Many  of  the  early  stores  Avere  doubtless  primitive  af- 
fairs, but  they  fairly  satisfied  the  needs  of  their  patrons  and  did 
not  attempt  to  cater  to  the  tastes  of  the  twentieth  century.  It 
is  not  possible  now  to  give  the  names  of  all  the  storekeepers  in 
the  early  days,  but  the  following  lists  probably  give  the  more 
important  names  in  the  different  localities,  though  there  are  prob- 
ably some  errors  in  all  of  the  lists.  It  is  intended  to  give  the 
names  of  the  owners  or  agents,  sometimes  both,  with  the  years  of 
active  business  and  the  section  of  the  toAATi  where  the  store  was 
located.

BLACKSMITHS. 

The  first  blacksmith  in  town  is  supposed  to  have  been  Josiah 
Haines,  a  soldier  of  the  Kevolutionary  Army.  His  shop  was 
on  the  road  from  the  Jonathan  Cilley  place  to  Otis  R.  Connor's, 
and  about  fifty  rods  south  of  the  Cilley  house.  It  is  believed 
that  Elijah  Hilton  learned  his  trade  in  the  shop  of  Mr.  Haines. 
About  1780  Mr.  Hilton  moved  to  the  place  now  owned  by  Henry 
W.  Kilburn  and  built  his  shop  on  the  west  side  of  the  road  lead- 
ing towards  Salisbury,  and  nearly  opposite  his  house.  He  owned 
the  first  machine  in  town  for  making  nails  for  the  carpenters  and 
probably  made  the  most  of  those  used  in  town  about  1800. 

Col.  Jonathan  Weare  had  a  shop  on  Taunton  Hill,  on  the  oppo- 
site side  of  the  road  from  his  house  which  is  now  known  as  the 
W.  H.  Edmund's  place.  At  his  shop  w'ere  made,  by  hand,  great 
quantities  of  farming  tools,  plows,  shovels,  forks,  hoes  as  well  as 
many  edged  tools,  like  chopping  and  broad  axes,  "shaves"  or 
drawknives,  scythes,  etc.  He  had  five  forges  and  employed  from 
eight  to  twelve  journeymen  and  apprentices  most  of  the  time. 
]Many  of  the  best  smiths  of  that  and  a  later  period  in  this  vicin- 
ity learned  their  trade  at  the  shop  of  Colonel  "Weare. 

William  Proctor  was  one  of  the  noted  blacksmiths  in  town. 
He  w'orked  at  his  trade  first  at  East  Andover  and  afterward  at 
the  Centre.  He  was  an  industrious,  skillful  mechanic  and  much 
of  his  aptitude  has  been  seen  in  most  of  his  descendants.  ]\ir. 
Proctor's  shop  w^as  near  the  site  of  the  house  now  occupied  by 
George  H.  Scribner. 

It  is  practically  impossible  now  to  give  the  names  of  all  the 
men  who  worked  at  the  forge  in  this  town  before  the  middle  ot 
the  last  centur}^,  and  it  is  also  impossible  to  give  the  dates  of 
their  active  service.  In  the  following  lists  appear  such  names 
of  the  sons  of  Vulcan  as  have  been  gathered  from  records,  from 
memory  and  from  tradition;  arranged,  as  far  as  possible,  accord 
ing  to  the  sections  of  the  town  in  Avhich  they  lived.  The  lists, 
are  necessarily  incomplete.

STAGE  COACHES. 

In  1800  two  stages  of  the  line  between  Boston  and  Hanover 
ran  as  far  north  as  Andover,  and  one  of  them  ran  through  to 
Hanover.  Upon  the  completion  of  the  Fourth  New  Hampshire 
Turnpike,  both  stages  ran  through  to  Hanover. 

The  number  of  vehicles  was  increased  and  the  passing  of  the 
stagecoach  became  a  matter  of  important  daily  interest  to  those 
who  lived  along  the  turnpike.  The  continued,  unusual  speed, 
the  well-groomed  horses,  the  ever-changing  group  of  passengers, 
were  all  attractive  features  of  the  coaching  days.  To  the  boy 
who  was  fortunate  enough  to  live  near  the  taverns  where  the 
horses  were  changed,  the  arrival  of  the  stage  was  an  occasion 
of  great  moment.  The  dashing  style  of  the  driver  as  he  brought 
his  coach  up  to  the  tavern  door,  the  rapid  work  of  the  hostlers  in 
changing  horses,  the  bustle  among  the  passengers  as  they  alighted 
for  meals  or  hurried  to  the  bar-room  for  "something,"  either 
hot  or  cold,  the  wonderful  crack  of  the  driver's  whip  and  the 
spirited  action  of  the  fresh  horses  as  they  swung  out  on  the  turn- 
pike for  the  next  stage  of  the  trip,  all  filled  the  boy's  mind  with 
admiration,  perhaps  with  a  secret  determination  to  follow  that 
trail  out  into  the  wide  world  sometime  and  make  a  place  for  him- 
self. And,  if  he  were  so  blest  as  to  have  a  speaking  acquaintance 
with  that  driver,  a  word  or  even  a  friendly  nod  from  that  worthy 
as  he  deftly  gathered  that  seeming  tangle  of  reins  into  his  hands 
was  enough  to  give  the  boy  sufficient  pride  and  thought  for  the 
next  twenty- four  hours. 


Business  Matters.  169 

Another  event  which  interested  old  and  young  alike  was  the 
occasional  passage  of  the  British  mail,  on  this  line  of  coaches,  on 
its  route  from  Boston  to  Canada.  At  those  times  the  presence  of 
a  guard  in  uniform,  dignified  and  reticent,  gave  the  rare  oppor- 
tunity to  see  a  representative  of  the  British  government  among 
the  New  Hampshire  Hills.  The  principal  stage  drivers  were 
generally  a  trustworthy,  energetic  class  of  men  and  when  the 
Northern  Railroad  left  no  field  for  the  stage  coach,  the  passenger 
conductors  were  often  taken  from  the  ranks  of  the  "stage  driv- 
ers." Many  citizens  wnll  remember  conductors  Shattuck  and 
Corning,  perhaps  others,  who  were  transferred  from  the  stage 
to  the  passenger  coach. 

PRICES  OF  FOOD,  LABOR,   ETC.,   IN  1777. 

The  following  extracts  from  the  records  of  the  Legislature  are 
cited  in  order  to  give  an  approximate  list  of  the  prices,  as  well 
as  some  hints  of  the  conditions  prevailing  in  Andover  and  other 
towns  in  New  Hampshire  in  the  second  year  of  our  national 
independence. 

On  January  18,  1777,  an  act  to  regulate  the  prices  of  labor, 
food,  etc.,  was  passed  by  the  General  Assembly  of  New  Hamp- 
shire. 

The  preamble  and  the  act  were  as  follows: 

"Whereas  the  exorbitant  Prices  of  the  Necessar}^  and  conven- 
ient Articles  of  Life,  and  also  of  Labour,  within  this  State  at 
this  time  of  distress  (unless  speedily  and  effectually  remedied) 
will  be  attended  with  the  most  fatal  and  pernicious  conse- 
quences. 

"Be  it  therefore  enacted  by  the  Council  and  house  of  Repre- 
sentatives in  General  Court  assembled  that  the  rates  and  prices 
of  the  several  articles  hereinafter  enumerated  be  and  hereby 
are  limited  within  this  State  as  follows : ' ' 

Omitting  much  of  the  somewhat  diffuse  phraseology  of  the 
document,  the  maximum  prices  allowed  for  the  various  articles 
named  in  the  act  are  given  below :

not  be  sold  by  wholesale  at  a  higher  advance  than  in  the  proportion  of 
Two  hundred  and  seventy  five  pounds  for  what  cost  one  hundred  pounds 
of  like  money  in  Europe.  And  all  other  goods,  wares  and  merchandizes 
imported  from  thence  or  brought  into  the  State  by  any  prize  vessel 
(warlike  and  military  stores  excepted)  shall  be  sold  by  wholesail  at 
an  advance  not  exceeding  two  hundred  and  fifty  pounds  for  what  cost 
one  hundred  pounds  of  like  money  in  Europe. 

The  provisions  of  the  above  act  were  not  wholly  satisfactory 
and  the  following  is  a  portion  of  an  act  passed  April  10,  1777 : 

An  Act  in  addition  to  an  Act  entitled  an  Act  for  the  regulating  of 
prices  of  Sundry  Articles  therein  enumerated. 

Whereas  it  hath  been  found  by  experience  that  some  of  the  Articles  in 
said  Act  are  therein  Rated  too  low,  and  no  Provision  is  made  thereby  for

the  Regulation  of  sundry  particulars  not  tlierein  enumerated:  For  rem- 
edy whereof, — 

Be  it  enacted  by  the  Council  &  house  of  Representatives  in  General 
Court  assembled,  and  by  authority  of  the  same.  That  the  rates  and 
prices  of  the  several  articles  hereinafter  enumerated,  be  and  hereby 
are  limitted  within  this  State  as  follows,  viz.:  — 

Good  Merchantable  Rye  and  Rye  meal  shall  not  exceed  the  price  of 
five  shillings  per  bushel  in  the  Town  of  Portsmouth. 

Good  merchantable  Indian  corn  or  Indian  meal  shall  not  exceed  the 
price  of  four  shillings  per  Bushel  in  the  Town  of  Portsmouth. 

Good  Barley  Malt  shall  not  exceed  the  price  of  Indian  corn.  Rye 
Malt  shall  not  exceed  the  price  of  Rye. 

Men's  Neat  Leather  Shoes  of  the  best  common  sort  shall  not  exceed 
Eight  shillings  per  pair,  other  shoes  in  proportion  according  to  their 
Quality  and  size 

Good  well  dressed  Merchantable  Flax  shall  not  exceed  one  shilling 
and  three  pence  per  pound  in  the  Town  of  Portsmouth  and  in  other 
towns  in  proportion. 

"Hard  times"  and  high  prices  had  borne  heavily  upon  the 
men  of  New  Hampshire  in  1777.  Strong  appeals  to  the  legis- 
lators had  resulted  in  the  two  acts  of  January  18  and  April  10, 
1777,  but  the  laws  failed  to  give  the  desired  relief. 

Arbitrary  interference  with  the  recognized  laws  of  trade  were 
already  producing  the  usual  result,  and  the  people  hastened  to 
undo  the  legislative  mistakes  of  the  early  part  of  the  year. 

On  November  27,  1777,  the  following  act  was  approved  by  the 
speaker  of  the  House  and  the  president  of  the  council : 

An  Act  for  the  Repealing  the  Acts  of  the  General  Court,  made  the 
present  year,  against  Monopoly  and  oppression. 

Whereas  the  several  Acts  to  prevent  Monopoly  &  Oppression  made  the 
present  year  have  been  very  far  from  answering  the  salutory  purposes 
for  which  they  were  intended; 

Be  it  therefore  Enacted  by  the  Council  and  house  of  Representatives 
in  General  Court  assembled,  and  by  the  authority  of  the  same,  that  the 
aforesaid  Acts,  viz.: — one  Act  entitled  an  Act  for  Regulating  the  prices 
of  Sundry  Articles  therein  enumerated: — and  another  Act  intitled  an 
Act  in  addition  to  an  Act  for  the  Regulating  the  prices  of  Sundry  Ar- 
ticles therein  enumerated,  made  the  present  year  be  and  they  are  hereby 
Repealed;  and  every  part  and  paragraph  of  the  Acts  aforesaid  declared 
•null  and  void.

DEPRECIATION  OF  PAPER  CURRENCY. 

As  a  guide  to  the  proper  evaluation  of  the  sums  of  money 
mentioned  in  this  history,  from  1776  to  1781,  the  following 
extracts  from  the  Journals  of  the  House  of  Representatives 
of  New  Hampshire  are  given  to  show  the  depreciation  of  paper 
currency  during  that  period. 

Special  session  of  the  House  convened  at  Exeter,  April  19, 

1780. 

[From  the  Journal  of  the  House,  April  27,  1780.] 

The  Committee  appointed  to  make  the  Draft  of  a  Depreciation  Table 
to  be  a  Guide  to  the  Committee  for  making  out  the  accounts  of  the  of- 
ficers &  soldiers  of  this  state.  Report  the  following  Table,  calculated  for 
what  one  hundred  pounds  was  worth  equal  to  good  money  in  each 
month  from  Jany  1777  to  Jany  1780  and  that  the  same  be  considered  as 
a  rule  for  any  sum  or  sums  of  money  paid  to  officers  &  soldiers  towards 
depreciation  or  by  way  of  bounties  and  supplies,  excepting  those  Ar- 
ticles the  prices  of  which  were  stipulated  in  the  year  1777  which  are 
to  be  charged  at  the  stipulated  prices,  and  the  wages  received  from  the 
Continent,  for  which  they  are  to  be  charged  for  the  one-half  part  for 
the  year  1777,  one  sixth  part  for  the  year  1778,  and  one  twentieth  part 
for  the  year  1779,  equal  to  good  money.

The  Committee  beg  leave  further  to  recommend  that  where  the  bal- 
lance  due  to  any  officer  or  soldier  shall  not  exceed  three  pounds  the 
Treasurer  be  impowered  to  pay  said  ballance  in  the  present  currency 
at  the  rate  of  forty  for  one  if  desired;  and  if  above  three  pounds  and 
less  than  five  pounds,  that  he  give  one  note  for  the  same  payable  in 
December  next;  That  the  Committee  on  said  accounts  apply  to  the  Com- 
mittee of  Safety  in  the  recess  of  the  General  Court  for  any  orders  or 
-directions  which  they  may  stand  in  need  of  respecting  the  Disposal  of 
rum,  sugar,  &c,  &c.  to  the  officers  &  soldiers;  or  any  other  difficulty 
that  may  occur;  And  the  Committee  of  Safety  are  hereby  directed  to 
give  such  orders  respecting  the  same  as  they  shall  think  proper: — which 
is  submitted  by  Josiah  Bartlett  for  the  Committee.

The  Committee  to  form  a  Scale  or  Table  of  depreciation  for  this 
State  reported  as  their  opinion  that  all  contracts  previous  to  the  last 
day  of  January,  1777,  shall  be  considered  as  silver  &  gold,  &  all  contracts 
for  paper  money  from  the  last  day  of  January  1777  to  the  last  day  of 
June  1781,  to  be  computed  in  the  following  manner:  £100  pounds  in 
silver  being  equal  to  the  amount  given  below  in  Continental  money  for

Which  report  being  read  &  considered,  Voted  that  the  same  be  re- 
ceived and  accepted. 

It  is  evident  that  the  report  on  April  27,  1780,  was  not 
adopted,  but  the  discussion  of  that  report  and  the  necessity  for 
some  immediate  action  to  relieve  the  distress  due  to  financial 
uncertainties  led  to  the  final  adoption  of  the  report  of  July  3, 
1781,  at  which  time  £1  in  silver  coin  was  worth  £75  in  Conti- 
mental  paper  currency.

shire in  the  following  years :

TAVERNS  AND  TAVERN  KEEPERS. 

The  long  list  of  innholders  or  tavern  keepers  in  Andover 
seems  remarkable,  if  one  considers  the  size  of  the  town. 

It  should  be  remembered,  however,  that,  for  the  first  thirty 
years,  at  least,  the  capital  necessary  to  establish  a  tavern  for  the 
entertainment  of  man  and  beast  was  quite  small,  and  the  accom- 
modations required  were  of  the  simplest  character. 

In  most  cases  the  traveller  carried  his  own  food  and  asked 
only  a  seat  by  the  fire,  in  cold  weather,  and  a  place  to  sleep. 

The  houses  were  built  of  logs,  the  rooms  were  small  and  the 
simple,  even  primitive,  beds  required  much  less  room  than  the 


170  History  op  Andover. 

modern  box  spring  with  a  hair  mattress.  As  "creature  com- 
forts" multiplied  the  traveller  eked  out  his  simple  fare  with  a 
glass  of  spirits,  "plain  or  mixed,"  from  the  landlord's  store,  or 
with  a  generous  mug  of  flip  of  the  entertainer's  best  brew. 

The  landlord  aimed  to  give  the  necessary  conveniences  rather 
than  luxurious  comforts,  while  the  roaring  fire  on  the  hearth,  in 
the  winter,  and  the  pungent  jest  and  ready  wit  as  it  lightly  flew 
about  the  semicircle  left  no  place  for  an  artificial  spur  to  stir 
the  unflagging  springs  of  a  free  and  healthy  life. 

The  flrst  through  travel  was  along  the  ' '  Plymouth  "  or  "  Coos '  ^ 
road  by  the  west  bank  of  the  Pemigewasset  River,  and  there  the 
first  tavern  in  town  was  established  by  Thomas  Welch  in  1774. 

With  the  building  of  the  Fourth  New  Hampshire  Turnpike, 
the  taverns  rapidly  increased  in  number  and  improved  in  qual- 
ity, until  most  of  them  could  be  fairly  called  houses  of  enter- 
tainment. 

With  the  increase  in  travel,  the  tavern  keeper  whose  wife, 
daughter  or  maid  was  a  good  cook,  seldom  found  business  dull. 
At  first  no  formality  was  necessary  in  starting  a  tavern  or  inn, 
but  after  a  few  years  the  countrj^  towns  generally  deemed  it 
wise  to  exercise  some  supervision  over  such  public  places,  and  a 
license  from  the  selectmen  became  necessary,  not  only  to  follow 
the  business  of  an  innholder  but  to  retail  ' '  spirituous  or  mixed '  * 
liquors.  So  it  happened  that  many  taverns  were  in  existence 
before  they  were  formally  licensed  as  innholders  or  "tavern- 
ers"  or  as  retailers  of  liquors.  Probablj^  the  first  tavern  in 
town,  west  of  the  River  Road,  was  kept  by  William  ]\Iorey  in  a 
log  house  on  Boston  Hill. 

1774. — The  tavern  of  Thomas  Welch  was  built  of  logs  and  was 
located  on  the  site  of  the  Simonds  house,  on  the  River  Road, 
which  was  destroyed  by  fire  not  many  years  ago. 

1783. — Henry  Hall  was  licensed  as  a  "retailer  of  spirits." 

1784. — Simeon  Connor  kept  a  tavern  where  Otis  R.  Connor 
now  lives,  on  Boston  Hill.     He  was  licensed  in  1786. 

1785. — Peter  Weare  kept  a  tavern  on  Taunton  Hill,  where 
Wilton  P.  Graves  now  lives ;  a  part  of  the  original  frame  of  the 
building  is  now  in  use. 

1786. — Benjamin  Cilley,  "Affy  Ben,"  kept  a  tavern  at  An- 
dover Centre;  possibly  before  this  date,  but  he  was  licensed  in 


Business  Matters.  177 

1786.  His  house  stood,  a  little  north  of  the  southeast  corner  of 
the  new  cemetery. 

1787. — John  Kowe  was  a  ''taverner"  in  1787.  "Was  licensed 
in  1792  to  deal  in  "spirituous  liquors  by  retail  or  mixed." 

1792. — Joseph  Lunt  was  licensed  as  a  "tavern  keeper"  in 
1792,  at  the  J.  H.  Durgin  place. 

1792. — Benjamin  Thompson  was  licensed  in  1792,  but  had  kept 
tavern  before  that  date.  His  tavern  was  on  the  site  where  John 
F.  Sanborn  now  lives  (1904),  and  Thompson  and  his  son  Herod 
carried  on  the  business  for  more  than  forty  years. 

1792. — Elisha  Cilley  kept  a  small  one-story  tavern  at  Andover 
Centre,  east  of  his  father's  place  and  southwest  of  the  present 
residence  of  G.  W.  Stone. 

1793. — Charles  Hilton  kept  the  first  tavern  at  the  east  village. 

1795. — Nathan  Colby,  on  the  River  Road,  was  licensed  to 
"keep  a  tavern." 

1795. — West  Bonney  kept  a  tavern  at  Potter  Place,  in  a  one- 
story  house ;  afterward  kept  the  first  tavern  at  West  Andover. 

1799. — Col.  John  Gale  built  a  tavern  at  Potter  Place.  He 
came  from  Salisbury. 

1799. — John  Weare  had  a  tavern  at  Taunton  Hill. 

1800. — Eliphalet  Rollins  kept  a  tavern  at  Potter  Place.  He 
later  built  a  two-story  house  for  a  tavern.  This  was  afterwards 
cut  down  one  story  and  moved  eastward.  It  is  said  to  be  the 
frame  of  the  Jesse  Baker  house,  where  C.  E.  F.  Davis  now  lives. 
A  Mr.  Rowe  had  a  tavern  on  south  side  of  road  near  Potter 
Place. 

The  tavern  at  W^est  Andover  was  built  about  1800,  and  was 
occupied  by  West  Bonney  about  twenty  years.  It  was  next 
occupied  for  several  years  by  Thomas  Clark,  who  moved  out  of 
town  in  1840,  John  Edson  was  the  proprietor  for  twenty-three 
years.  It  was  afterwards  under  the  direction  of  John  Babbitt 
for  about  thirty  years,  and  managed  by  Leonard  Heath  for  about 
three  years.  After  the  railroad  was  built  as  far  as  Franklin,  two 
stages  from  Franklin  to  Hanover  and  two  from  West  Andover 
to  Haverhill  changed  horses  at  this  tavern. 

1802. — Dea.  Samuel  Kimball  built  a  tavern  at  the  junction  of 
the  turnpike  and  the  road  to  East  Andover,  often  called  Kim- 
ball's Corner,  just  below  Nathan  Woodbury's  farm,  and  occu-

about  1835,  ill  this  tavern,  and  he  in  turn  was  followed  by  his

At  a  later  date  Leonard  Heath  and  John  Babbitt  were  tavern 
keepers  at  West  Andover. 

After  the  railroad  was  built  most  of  the  hotel  business  in  the 
to^Mi  was  concentrated  at  the  Centre  and  Potter  Place,  and 
patronage  at  the  other  hostelries  gradually  disappeared. 

After  Mr.  Durgin  left  Potter  Place,  in  1850  or  1851.  the  suc- 
cessive managers  were  B.  F.  Scribner,  B.  P.  Fifield,  Hiram  F. 
Emery,  William  Gordon,  Andrew  J.  George  and  John  Hopkins. 
In  the  hands  of  the  latter  and  later  under  the  management  of 
Mrs.  Hopkins.  Hotel  "Potter"  became  an  attractive  house.  Be- 
fore Durgin  the  several  proprietors  were  West  Bonney,  Col. 
John  Gale,  Eliphalet  Rollins.  Walter  Waldo  and  Jonathan 
Stewart. 

It  was  the  custom  to  issue  licenses  for  only  one  year,  but  the 
renewal  was  apparently  an  easy  matter.  A  special  license  was 
given  as  below: 

In  1825  Robert  Barber,  at  East  Andover.  was  licensed  "to 
keep  tavern,  to  sell,  mix  and  sell  spirituous  liquors  by  less  quan- 
tities than  one  gallon,  on  the  8th  and  9th  days  of  ]\[arch.  at  his 
house  in  Andover."  . 

This  Avas  evidently  for  the  accommodation  of  "town  meeting 
folks." 

The  tavern  at  Andover  Centre,  occupied  successively  by  Bean, 


180  History  of  Andover. 

Walker  and  by  Henry  and  Simeon  S.  ]\Ioulton,  was  built  by 
Samuel  Butterfield  in  1828-'29.  Elijah  Cilley  owned  a  small 
house  in  the  village,  Avhich  he  managed  for  several  years  as  a 
tavern. 

In  1826  ]\Ir.  Butterfield  bought  the  place  of  Cilley 's  estate,  tore 
down  the  house  and  built  on  the  same  site  the  best  public  house 
in  town.  Fortunate  in  landlords,  the  tavern  soon  became  the 
most  popular  house  from  Concord  to  the  Connecticut  River. 

THE  PROCTOR  HOUSE. 

In  1875  Hon.  John  Proctor,  who  had  acquired  the  hotel  prop- 
erty in  the  village,  projected  and  built  a  first-class  country  hotel, 
complete  in  design  and  finish,  and  a  credit  and  honor  to  himself 
and  his  native  town.  This  was  a  three-story  building,  with  a 
frontage  of  112  feet.  An  east  and  a  west  wing  extended  north- 
erly 119  feet.  It  contained  large  parlors,  assembly  rooms  and 
dining  rooms,  with  125  guest  rooms,  all  heated  with  steam.  A 
large  stable  provided  the  finest  livery  accommodations  in  town. 
Fortunate  from  the  first  in  the  management,  it  soon  became  very 
popular  as  a  summer  hotel,  and  after  two  years  all  the  rooms 
were  engaged  eight  months  in  advance. 

At  the  beginning,  Mr.  John  S.  Thompson,  a  noted  hotel  man 
with  wide  experience,  became  the  manager  and  continued  in  that 
capacity  until  his  death,  in  1879.  After  that  date  the  hotel  was 
under  the  management  of  ]Mrs.  J.  S.  Thompson  and  ]Mr.  W.  D. 
Thompson. 

The  famous  "Shaker  law  suit"  was,  perhaps,  the  most  notable 
occurrence  at  this  hotel.  The  time  consumed  and  the  high 
character  of  the  legal  talent  employed  would  have  been  note- 
worthy in  any  section  of  the  state. 

The  ease  was  that  of  Conant  and  Davis  v.  The  Enfield  Shak- 
ers, for  settlement  of  an  account. 

The  case  was  heard  by  Judge  Isaac  "W.  Smith,  a  court  auditor. 
Austin  F.  Pike  and  Isaac  X.  Blodgett  appeared  for  the  plaintiff 
and  J.  Y.  ]\Iugridge,  H.  W.  Green  and  Harry  Bingham  were 
counsel  for  the  Shakers.  The  examination  of  the  account  and 
the  spirited  contentions  over  some  of  the  items  occupied  about 
six  weeks,  while  the  lengthy  arguments  of  the  counsel  and  other 
features  consumed  about  three  weeks  more,  or  in  all  from  Decem- 
ber 23,  1878,  to  February  28,  1879. 


Business  Matters.  181 

During  a  very  severe  storm  in  August.  1S78,  the  lightning 
struck  the  west  end  of  the  large  hotel  stable,  damaging  the 
building  slightly,  prostrating  one  or  two  men  employed  about 
the  stable  and  killing  a  pig.  The  hotel  people  and  the  guests 
were  somewhat  frightened,  but  no  person  was  injured.  Upon 
the  following  Sunday  the  following  note  was  sent  to  the  pastor 
■of  the  church  : 

"The  Proprietor,  guests  and  all  connected  with  the  Proctor 
House  request  that  Public  Thanksgiving  be  offered  to  the 
Almighty  God  for  the  preservation  of  life  and  property  during 
the  storm  of  Friday  morning  last." 

Accordingh-  the  morning  religious  service  was  properly 
adapted  to  the  peculiar  exigencies  of  the  case. 

This  hotel  was  the  scene  of  many  social  gatherings,  among 
"them  two  which  were  specially  noteworthy. 

The  first  was  on  September  8,  1875.  to  celebrate  the  twenty- 
:fifth  anniversary  of  the  wedding  of  the  proprietor  of  the  hotel, 
^Col.  John  S.  Thompson,  and  Charlotte  A.  S.  Woodman. 

The  second  occasion  was  on  September  20,  1880,  to  celebrate 
the  fiftieth  anniversary  of  the  wedding  of  the  owner  of  the 
'hotel,  Hon.  John  Proctor,  and  Elizabeth  Conant. 

On  both  occasions  the  capacity  of  the  hotel  was  taxed  to  its 
utmost  with  the  entertainment  of  guests,  many  from  distant 
towns  and  cities,  and  the  anniversaries  will  be  long  remembered. 

The  whole  town  and  hundreds  of  former  guests  suffered  a 
great  loss  by  the  burning  of  the  hotel  on  IMarch  23,  1882.  There 
was  no  insurance  and  no  effort  to  rebuild  was  made.  For  almost 
100  years  the  village  was  for  the  first  time  without  a  tavern. 

DRINKING  AND  TEMPERANCE. 

From  the  standpoint  of  the  modern  ''prohibitionist,"  it  is  not 
•easy  to  understand  the  attitude  of  the  early  settlers  of  this  town 
towards  the  use  of  distilled  and  fermented  liquors. 

From  a  careful  consideration  of  all  available  testimony,  it 
seems  probable  that  at  least  ninety  or  ninety-five  per  cent,  of  all 
the  male  adults  in  town  before  1820  drank  more  or  less  alcoholic 
liquor. 

The  dedication  of  a  church,  the  installation  of  a  pastor,  the 
building  of  a  log  house,  or  the  raising  of  the  frame  of  a  more 


182  History  op  Andover. 

pretentious  structure,  all  were  occasions  for  generous,  some- 
times almost  unlimited,  conviviality.  Births,  marriages  and 
deaths  were  universally  considered  proper  seasons  for  indulgence 
in  copious  draughts  of  brandy,  rum  or  strong  wines. 

When  making  pastoral  visits  the  minister,  on  entering  the 
house,  and  before  engaging  in  the  usual  social  courtesies  and  the 
semi-religious  chat  of  such  calls,  refreshed  himself  with  a  little 
"toddy,"  generally  mixed  by  himself,  and  on  leaving  his  hos- 
pitable hosts  he  frequently  took  another  "bracer"  to  protect 
himself  from  the  cold  or  heat  of  our  whimsical  climate. 

No  funeral  was  conducted  and  no  marriage  celebrated  at  the 
bride's  home  until  the  minister  had  taken  his  "toddy,"  and 
generally  something  of  the  same  sort  was  needed  after  the  cere- 
mony for  comfort  and  recuperation. 

The  wife  of  Capt.  Josiah  Bachelder  objected  vigorously  to  the 
location  of  the  church  near  the  captain's  house,  on  Taunton  Hill. 
"If  the  meeting  house  is  built  here,"  she  said,  "we  shall  be 
expected  to  keep  a  bar  for  the  accommodation  of  the  ministers, 
and  I  won't  have  a  bar  in  my  house." 

It  was  then  the  custom  for  everybody  to  drink,  and  when  New 
England  rum  could  be  bought  for  fifty  cents  per  gallon  it  was 
comparatively  easy  to  get  enough  for  "comfort." 

In  1820  the  selectmen  issued  a  warning  "to  all  tavern  keepers 
and  retailers  in  this  town,  .  .  .  not  to  sell  or  give  any 
ardent  spirits  to  any  person  or  persons  after  they  had  drank  suf- 
ficient for  comfort."  Even  in  those  days  the  liquor  traffic  was 
not  without  its  humorous  phases. 

The  first  residents  took  great  pains  to  foster  the  gro'wth  of 
apple  trees.  At  first  they  were  simply  seedlings,  but  they  flour- 
ished in  the  virgin  soil  and  in  due  time  produced  many  varieties, 
most  of  them  better  fitted  for  the  cider  mill  than  for  the  table. 
Soon  cider  became  a  common  beverage  and  enormous  quantities 
were  consumed. 

It  is  related  that  a  farmer  in  the  eastern  section  of  the  town 
needed,  in  the  hurry  of  "spring's  Avork,"  a  man  to  shovel 
manure.  A  neighbor,  named  Gove,  having  little  work  on  hand, 
offered  to  work  one  day  for  his  meals  and  a  drink  of  eider  for 
each  load  shovelled.  Each  time  the  cart  was  loaded  he  presented 
himself  at  the  door  of  the  house  and  the  good  housewife  handed 
him  a  quart  pitcher  of  cider,  which  he  immediately  drank.     That 


Business  Matters.  183 

day  lie  loaded  the  cart  twenty  times.  At  the  close  of  the  day's 
labor  the  farmer  spoke  of  the  good  work  done  and  asked  Gove 
if  he  would  like  a  drink  of  cider.  He  said  "yes,"  and  he  drank 
another  quart  as  he  started  for  his  home. 

A  farmer  on  Beech  Hill  put  thirty  barrels  of  cider  into  his 
cellar  in  November.  His  family  consisted  of  four  persons.  Be- 
fore ' '  planting  time, ' '  in  May,  he  began  to  buy  cider. 

Simeon  Rollins,  of  the  Flag  Hole  district,  put  eighty  barrels 
of  cider  into  his  cellar  in  November  and  it  was  reported  that  he 
declared  that  ' '  Granny  and  I  brought  it  all  out  of  the  cellar  in 
a  mug  during  the  winter  and  spring." 

The  confirmed  cider  drinker  would  sometimes  drink  enough  to 
intoxicate  three  ordinary  men,  at  least.  A  small  farmer  on 
Beech  Hill  w^ould  drink  a  quart  of  cider  w'ithout  moving  the 
pitcher  from  his  lips,  and  with  no  outward  sign  of  swallowing ; 
the  cider  ran  down  his  throat  continuously  as  if  it  had  been  a 
large  rubber  tube. 

This  general  habit  of  drinking  liquors  and  cider  soon  devel- 
oped a  class  of  people  with  weak  wills  and  little  self-control,  and 
gross  excesses  were  not  uncommon  in  that  limited  class. 

Such  courses  were  matters  of  serious  anxiety  in  the  com- 
munity ;  frequent  complaints  were  made  to  the  selectmen  of  the 
conduct  of  certain  persons,  and  combined,  as  well  as  individual, 
efforts  were  made  to  reform  habits  that  were  fast  wrecking  homes 
as  w^ell  as  individuals. 

The  following  two  papers  are  given  as  samples  of  the  interest 
in  such  matters  and  of  the  methods  employed : 

To  the  overseers  of  the  Poor  in  the  Town  of  Andover: 

Gentlemen:  We  the  undersigned  having  in  view  the  general  good 
of  the  Town  and  each  of  its  inhabitants  beg  leave  to  represent  to  you 
that  Wm.  Tossey,  in  our  opinion,  is  squandering  his  time  and  money 
at  the  taverns  and  grog  sellers  in  a  very  unbecoming  manner  and  pray 
that  you  would  take  some  method  to  stop  it.

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  the  names  of  two  tavern  keepers, 
at  least,  are  signed  to  the  above  petition. 

Articles  of  Agreement  made  and  concluded  this  nineteenth  day  of

No  special  temperance  work,  peculiar  to  this  town,  has  ever 
been  undertaken.  The  usual  irregular  and  spasmodic  agitation 
has  appeared  from  time  to  time,  young  people's  "bands," 
"leagues,"  etc.,  have  interested  the  rising  generations,  while 
some  of  the  parents  have  done  the  most  effective  work  by  prop- 
erly training  their  children  to  cultivate  self-respect  and  the 
power  of  self-control.  The  first  formal  temperance  address  in 
town  was  delivered  at  the  East  Andover  meeting-house,  Novem- 
ber 25,  1832.  Elders  Elijah  Watson  and  Alvah  Buzzell  were 
present,  but  the  name  of  the  speaker  is  not  given  in  Elder  Wat- 
son's journal. 

This  town  has  lived  through  the  different  experiments  which 
the  state  Legislature  has  been  pleased  to  make  with  almost  every 
form  of  license,  temperance  and  prohibitory  law,  and  now  the 
local  conditions,  with  a  less  number  of  liquor-selling  taverns,  are 
about  what  they  were  in  the  middle  of  the  last  century. 

Some  men  do  not  drink  alcoholic  liquor  because  they  have  no 
desire  for  it.     Others  generally  refrain,  deeming  the  habit  un- 


Business  Matters.  185 

safe  and  unwise.  Others  drink  occasionally,  seldom  to  excess, 
while  others  give  free  rein  to  their  appetites  and  become  intoxi- 
cated whenever  the  opportunity  occurs.  Happily,  the  second 
class  seems  to  be  increasing,  though  the  rate  is  far  too  slow. 
This  serious  problem,  however,  is  still  unsolved,  and  the  solution 
in  this  town  is  not  vet  in  sight. 


ANDOVER  SOLDIERS. 

THE  LOUISBURG  CAMPAIGN. 

In  the  siiecessfiil  expedition  against  Loiiisbnrg,  in  1745,  New 
Hampshire  furnished  about  500  soldiers,  or  about  one  eighth  of 
the  entire  force.  Col.  Samuel  Moore,  one  of  the  Masonian  pro- 
prietors, commanded  one  regiment,  containing  360  New  Hamp- 
shire men;  the  remaining  140  were  attached  to  Massachusetts 
regiments.  Unfortunately  most  of  the  muster  rolls  of  the  regi- 
ments have  been  lost.  From  one  of  Colonel  Moore 's  muster  rolls 
it  has  been  found  that  the  following  proprietors,  to  whom  the 
territory  forming  Ncav  Breton  was  granted,  served  in  the  expe- 
dition against  the  "Dunkirk  of  America:" 

In  Captain  "Williams'  company:  Edmund  Brown,  ensign; 
Robert  Calf,  sergeant;  Nason  Cass,  John  Marston,  Benjamin 
Shaw,  David  Lowell,  Daniel  Cram,  John  Sanborn,  John  Ellis, 
privates. 

In  Captain  Prescott's  company:  Ezekiel  "Worthen,  ensign ;^ 
Joseph  Weare,  ensign;  David  Page,  Benjamin  Tilton,  Joseph 
Prescott,  John  Chapman,  Nathan  Dow,  John  Prescott,  Samuel 
Blake,  William  Swain,  privates. 

John  Tufton  ]Mason,  who  sold  his  claim  to  the  New  Hampshire 
lands  to  the  "^Masonian  Proprietors,"  was  at  one  time  a  captain 
in  Moore's  regiment  at  Louisburg,  and  later  a  grantee  of  land  in 
New  Breton,  owning  half  of  lot  thirty-six  in  the  second  range,, 
and  half  of  lot  thirty-six  in  the  fourth  range. 

Dr.  Anthony  Emery  was  a  surgeon  in  the  Louisburg  expe- 
dition, and  later  owned  the  lots  numbered  sixty-nine  in  the  first 
range  and  those  numbered  sixty-nine  in  the  third  range. 

Samuel  Scribner,  who  settled  in  Salisbury  and  afterwards 
moved  to  Andover,  and  William  ]\Iorey,  an  early  settler  in  New

Military  Affairs.  18T 

Joseph  Prescott,  Samuel  Blake  and  Nathan  Rowe,  Louisburg-

The  French  and  Indian  War  ended  in  1760. 

ANDOVER  AND  THE  WAR  OF  THE  REVOLUTION. 

When  an  open  rupture  of  the  hitherto  peaceful  relations  be- 
tween the  American  colonies  and  the  British  government  became 
imminent,  steps  were  taken  immediately  to  establish  intimate  and 
cordial  relations  among  all  the  scattered  settlements  in  New  Eng- 
land. To  this  end  "committees  of  safety"  were  named  in  all 
the  towns.  In  1775  a  Committee  of  Safety  was  appointed  in 
New  Breton  to  take  charge  of  all  the  interests  of  the  colonies  in 
the  to^^-n,  and  to  supervise  generally  the  local  relations  with  the 
great  revolutionary  movement.     This   committee   consisted  of: 

Samuel  Blake,  Paul  Smith  :\Iarston,  Thomas  Blake,  Joseph 
Severance  and  Moses  Clough. 

The  members  of  this  committee  were  locally  known  as  ' '  Safety 
Men." 


188  History  of  Andover. 

From  the  time  of  their  appointment  until  the  town  was  incor- 
porated as  Andover,  in  1779,  the  committee  had  entire  charge  of 
recruiting  soldiers  in  this  town  for  the  American  army. 

At  first  the  Provincial  authorities  furnished  each  town  with 
powder,  lead,  flints,  etc.,  according  to  the  number  of  citizens 
liable  to  be  called  upon  for  military  duty. 

In  comparison  with  the  outfit  of  the  modern  soldier,  it  may  be 
interesting  to  consider  the  equipment  deemed  necessary  at  the 
period  of  the  War  of  the  Revolution.  On  September  19,  1776, 
the  Legislature  of  New  Hampshire  passed  an  act  forming  and 
regulating  the  militia  of  the  state.  Article  VI  of  that  act  reads 
as  follows : 

Aud  be  it  further  enacted  by  the  authority  aforesaid  That  each  and 
^very  officer  &  private  soldier  of  said  Militia  not  under  the  control  of 
Parents,  Masters  or  guardians,  and  being  of  sufficient  ability  therefor 
in  the  judgment  of  the  selectmen  of  the  Town  wherein  he  has  his  usual 
place  of  abode,  shall  equip  himself  and  be  constantly  provided  with 
a  Good  Fire  Arm,  good  Ramrod,  a  Worm,  Priming  Wire  &  Brush  and 
a  Bayonet  fitted  to  his  Gun,  a  Scabbard  &  Belt  therefor  and  a  cutting 
Sword  or  a  Tomahawk  or  Hatchett,  a  Pouch  containing  a  cartridge  Box 
that  will  hold  fifteen  Rounds  of  Cartridges  at  least,  a  hundred  Buck 
Shot,  a  Jack  Knife  and  Tow  for  wadding.  Six  Flints,  one  pound  of 
Powder,  forty  Leaden  Balls  fitted  to  his  Gun  a  Knapsack  &  Blanket  a 
Canteen  or  Wooden  Bottle  sufficient  to  hold  one  Quart. 

The  following  paper  %vas  endorsed  "Requisition  from  the 
committee  of  New  Brittain  for  powder  firearms  and  lead. ' ' 

To  the  honorable  general  Court  of  New  Hampshire, — 

Please  to  deliver  to  the  bearer  of  this  the  Powder  and  lead  and  flints 

that  is  allowed  for  the  town  of  New  Brittain  and  in  so  doing  you  will 

oblige  your  Humble  Servants,

December  23,  1776. — "Voted  to  take  the  money  that  was 
raised  for  the  County  Rate  in  the  year  1774  to  pay  for  part  of 
the  powder  and  lead  that  is  now  in  town." 

March  14,  1777. — "The  tovm  voted  to  pay  to  those  men  who 
went  to  the  Concord  fight  ten  dollars  each." 


Military  Affairs.  189 

This  must  refer  to  the  men  who  started  for  Cambridge  imme- 
diately upon  the  arrival  of  the  news  of  the  conflict  at  Concord 
and  Lexington,  but  who  were  not  in  that  fight. 

April  5,  1777. — "The  town  voted  to  raise  45  pounds  lawful 
money  to  use  in  procuring  men  for  the  Continental  army." 

Nathan  Rowe  and  IMoses  Clough  were  chosen  a  committee  to> 
hire  the  men. 

January  22,  1778,  New  Breton  appropriated  the  sum  of  $200, 
to  defray  the  expense  of  "sending  men  into  the  Revolutionary 
service. ' ' 

March  30,  1778. — "Received  of  the  selectmen  of  New  briton 
for  the  year  1777  three  Pounds,  one  Shilling,  seven  pence,  three- 
farthings,  for  going  to  Main  to  hire  two  men  for  the  Conti- 
nental Army.     Moses  Clough." 

"Paid  to  the  two  men  that  Moses  Clough  hired  to  List  inta 
the  Continental  Army,  72  Pounds." 

"Paid  John  Raino  for  listing  into  the  Continental  Army,  15 
pounds." 

July  13,  1779,  just  after  incorporation  as  the  town  of  Ando- 
ver,  the  town  voted  to  pay  $500  to  each  of  two  more  men  who. 
would  serve  during  the  war. 

The  town  had  incurred  various  debts  on  account  of  the  war, 
and  on  August  31,  1780,  it  voted  "to  raise  so  much  money  as 
the  town  has  been  out  to  the  war  or  what  the  whole  accounts 
amount  to  of  all  that  has  been  done. ' ' 

Several  individuals  had  incurred  considerable  expense  in  sup- 
porting the  war,  and  it  was  thought  equitable  that  all  the  tax- 
payers should  join  in  paying  these  expenses. 

In  1781  the  town  paid  Joseph  Tucker  one  shilling  and  ten 
pence  for  "going  in  the  army."  This  was  evidently  a  small 
balance  due  him  on  some  account. 

In  1782  the  town  paid  Ezekiel  Fellows,  "for  serving  in  the 
army,"  18  shillings.     This  was  evidently  a  small  balance. 

In  1782  paid  Joseph  Chandler,  for  hiring  soldiers,  6  shillings, 
3  pence. 

In  1782  paid  Josiah  Haines,  for  going  in  the  army,  £5,  10 
shillings. 

In  1782  paid  Joshua  Danford,  for  going  in  the  army,  £6.

army,  the  value  of  a  yoke  of  six  foot  oxen  for  his  service  when 
he  is  lawfully  discharged  from  the  army." 

January  20,  1783. — "Voted  to  give  John  Howe  three  cows  a 
year  during  the  time  he  shall  serve  for  this  town  in  the  army." 

February  17,  1783. — "Voted  to  give  Joshua  Danford  two  hun- 
dred dollars  for  his  service  in  the  army." 

* '  Voted  not  to  give  John  Ash  anything. ' ' 

In  1783  the  town  paid  John  Raino,  for  going  to  Cambridge 
and  "for  going  in  the  service,"  £4  15s.  Od. 

The  news  of  the  opening  fight  at  Concord  and  Lexington 
reached  New  Breton  on  April  21,  1775,  and  Joseph  Fellows, 
Ezekiel  Lunt,  Joseph  Tucker,  William  Blake,  Josiah  Scribner, 
and  John  Raino  started  promptly,  armed  and  equipped  with 
their  own  weapons  and  stores,  to  aid  the  cause  of  the  colonies. 
The  opening  fight  of  the  Revolution  had  already  taken  place, 
but  the}''  were  in  season,  however,  to  prepare  for  the  memorable 
struggle  at  Bunker  Hill  on  June  17,  in  which  they  bore  with 
honor  the  test  of  that  notable  conflict  with  trained  English 
veterans. 

Raino  was  the  only  one  of  the  group  injured,  and  he  was  only 
slightly  wounded. 

New  Breton,  or  Andover,  furnished  its  full  quota  of  soldiers 
for  the  War  for  Independence.  Most  of  them  were  residents, 
but  a  few  were  from  other  localities,  but  credited  to  this  town. 

]\Iost  of  the  records  of  the  Revolutionary  War  which  pertain 
to  New  Hampshire  soldiers  are  very  incomplete,  and  most  of 
the  records  of  Andover  men  are  obtained  from  the  pay  rolls  of 
the  various  companies  and  regiments  which  have  been  pre- 
served. 

The  following  list  contains  such  names  of  Andover  soldiers  as 
have  been  gathered  from  town,  state  and  national  records: 

Joseph  Fellows,  Ezekiel  Lunt,  Joseph  Tucker,  William  Blake, 
Josiah  Scribner,  John  Raino  went  to  Camlundge  on  receipt  of 
news  of  the  Lexington  and  Concord  fight,  and  all  are  supposed 
to  have  been  in  the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill.

ROADS  IX  ANDOVER. 

The  early  records  of  the  meetings  of  the  proprietors  of  the 
Xew  Breton  township  give  ample  evidence  that  road-making,  as 
then  nnderstood,  was,  from  the  beginning,  an  absorbing  topic. 

But  the  work  of  providing  such  roads  as  would  stimulate 
settlement  in  the  new  towTiship  was  no  easy' task.  It  was  not  a 
difficult  matter  to  vote  that  a  road  from  Pemigewasset  River  to 
Loon  Pond  should  be  cut,  cleared  and  made  passable ;  but  to  do 
that  work  in  the  wilderness,  man}-  miles  from  the  place  of  meet- 
ing, w'as  a  different  problem. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  proprietors,  held  at  the  inn  of  Benja- 
min Swett,  in  Hampton  Falls,  on  October  15,  1753,  it  was 
voted  "that  a  Road  shall  be  Cleared  to  Senter  Squar,"  etc.,  and 
votes  on  the  location  and  building  of  roads  occupied  a  portion  of 
the  time  of  almost  every  subsequent  meeting. 

THE  FIRST  ROAD. 

The  ":\Iilitary"  or  "Plymouth"  road,  along  the  west  bank  of 
the  Pemigewasset  River,  was  cut  through  by  Colonel  Blanchard 
in  175'1,  and  was  cleared  of  bushes  in  the  summer  of  1762. 

The  proprietors  paid  Moses  Burbank  and  "William  SilloAvay 
£25  4s.  Od.  for  the  labor.  This  road,  on  the  plan  of  Stevens- 
toW'U  or  Salisbury,  was  called  the  "Coos"  road. 

On  July  21,  1761,  the  committee  appointed  to  locate  a  road 
to  the  Centre  Square  (see  abstracts  of  Proprietors'  Records),  re- 
ported that  they  had  made  search  and  pursued  the  road  from 
the  fort  in  Stevenstown  to  Loon  Pond.  Some  parts  of  this  road 
were  afterwards  built,  but  it  is  now  impossible  to  fix  the  location 
of  the  original  line. 

On  October  27,  1762,  the  proprietors  voted  to  pRy  Joseph 
Fellows  £117,  old  tenor,  for  clearing  the  road  from  Loon  Pond 
to  Webster's  ]\Iill,  in  Stevenstown.     He  worked  thirty-nine  days. 

In  1762  a  question  arose  between  Xew  Breton  and  New 
Chester  as  to  the  location  of  the  northeast  bound  of  Xew  Breton. 
This  was  settled  in  1763  bv  a  committee  consisting  of  Thomas 


200  '        History  of  Andovkr. 

Wells  and  William  Tolford  of  Boscawen,  Kichard  Xason  and 
Richard  Smith  of  the  New  Chester  proprietors,  and  Benjamin 
Tilton  and  Jeremiah  Lane,  representing  the  proprietors  of 
New  Breton. 

On  November  3,  1762,  the  committee,  consisting  of  Anthony 
Emery,  Nathaniel  Healey,  John  Sanborn,  Ezekiel  Worthen,  and 
Jeremiah  Lane,  appointed  to  cut  and  clear  the  road  from  Pemi- 
gewasset  River  to  Loon  Pond,  reported  that  they  had  cut  and 
cleared  the  Centre  Road  about  two  and  one-half  miles  from 
Pemigewasset  River  to  Chance  Pond,  thence  round  the  north- 
erly end  toward  the  mill  privilege  (near  what  is  now  called 
"hog-back"),  in  said  township.  Also  that  they  had  hired  Capt. 
John  Webster  of  Boscawen  to  begin  at  Loon  Pond  and  clear  the 
remainder  of  the  road  towards  the  mill  privilege.  The  cost  of 
the  road  from  the  river  to  the  mill  privilege  was  £270  10s. 
Od.,  and  thence  to  Loon  Pond,  £48  Os.  Ocl. 

The  crossroad  from  "New  Road  to  the  Centre  Road." 
through  the  Chase  farm,  was  built  to  the  "lower  falls"  in  1769. 
The  Emery  Road  was  originally  called  the  "New  Road." 

While  the  town  was  known  as  New  Breton,  many  paths  were 
partially  or  wholly  cut  and  more  or  less  cleared  by  the  settlers 
for  the  convenience  of  individuals  or  neighborhoods,  but  were 
not  legally  laid  out.  Upon  the  incorporation  of  the  town  under 
the  name  of  Andover  it  was  deemed  wise  to  formally'  "lay  out" 
the  roads  and  paths  that  had  been  used  with  advantage.  In 
this  work  many  of  the  traveled  paths  were  straightened  and 
in  some  cases  the  location  was  materially  changed. 

On  September  1,  1779,  Joseph  Philbrick,  Paul  S.  ]\Iarston  and 
Philip  Mitchell  were  chosen  a  committee  to  lay  out  roads,  and 
they  located  and  relocated  the  principal  roads  in  town  that  year. 

In  October  they  laid  out  the  road  from  Benjamin  Cilley's, 
now  Andover  Centre,  easterly  to  Ragged  ]\Iountain  Brook,  near 
the  present  switch  track,  on  the  Plains,  thence  easterly  to  the 
vicinity  of  the  present  Kilburn  Corner,  thence  easterly  to  Bos- 
ton Hill  and  southerly  to  the  Connor  place,  thence  easterly  to  the 
Joseph  A.  Rowe  place,  nearly  on  the  line  of  the  highway  as  it 
existed  before  the  railroad  was  built  across  the  Plains.  Before 
October,  1779,  the  road  across  the  Plains  was  very  crooked  and 
little  better  than  a  wood  path. 


Roads  and  Turnpikes.  201 

In  the  same  year  the  old  range  road  from  the  J.  A.  Rowe 
corner  eastward  to  the  present  Thompson  place,  was  laid  out  in 
■due  form. 

A  road  from  the  present  Flaghole  schoolhouse  corner,  b}'  the 
way  of  the  Joseph  Fellows,  now  Royal  Stone,  place,  was  laid 
out  to  a  point  near  the  William  Emery,  now  W.  B.  Emery,  place, 
and  thence  to  the  range  line,  near  the  burial  place  of  Joseph 
Fellows,  the  first  settler,  in  the  Stone  pasture.  Only  a  short 
section  of  this  road  was  ever  built. 

In  1779  the  road  was  laid  out  from  Horseshoe  Pond  northerly 
to  "Swett's  Corner,"  and  thence  to  Capt.  Peter  Weare's  tavern 
on  Taunton  Hill,  where  AVilton  P.  Graves  now  lives. 

Also  in  1779  the  ' ' Proteetworth  road,"  running  from  a  point 
on  the  Salisbury  line,  west  of  Raccoon  Hill,  northerly  to  Tucker 
■Corner,  thence  northwesterly  across  the  Great  Plains  to  Long 
Bridge,  over  Ragged  ]\Iountain  Pond  Brook,  was  laid  out  in  due 
form.  Before  this  date  this  road  was  simply  a  path  by  spotted 
trees. 

Another  important  road  made  a  legal  highway  in  1779  was 
that  from  the  "Walker  corner,"  east  of  the  J.  A.  Rowe  place, 
northward  over  the  Knowles  and  Brown  Hill  to  the  mills  at 
East  Andover,  and  thence  westerly  along  the  northerly  side  of 
Loon  Pond,  up  the  valley  of  the  Tilton  Brook,  to  what  was 
known  as  the  "ten  mile  tree"  at  the  "pass  of  the  mountain"  at 
New  Chester  line. 

A  branch  of  this  road,  running  from  a  point  near  where 
Seward  Dow's  house  stands,  westerly  to  Cilley's  Corner  on  Bos- 
ton Hill,  was  laid  out  in  1779.  The  road  from  Barnard's  Cor- 
ner (east  of  the  Elbridge  Chase  house)  to  the  former  Anthony 
Emery  farm,  where  Joseph  B.  Emery  lived  in  1880,  was  laid 
out  November  17,  1779.  At  that  time  John  Rowell  and  Thomas 
IBlake  lived  on  that  route. 

In  1780  the  town  "voted  to  raise  £2000  to  work  out  on  the 
liighways  the  Insuing  year,"  and  also  voted  that  "work  on  the 
highways  shall  be  twenty  dollars  per  day."  At  that  time  a 
Continental  dollar  was  worth  from  two  and  one-half  to  three 
and  one-half  cents.  There  were  four  highway  surveyors  in 
1780. 

The  road  from  Benjamin  Cilley's,  at  Andover  Centre,  west-

ward  and  northwestward,  via  the  present  villages  of  Potter 
Place  and  West  Andover,  to  the  Wilmot  line,  was  laid  out  by 
the  selectmen  in  September,  1780,  throiif^'h  what  had  been 
known  as  the  "fifteen  mile  woods." 

"Laid  out  a  highway  from  the  North  side  of  the  town  Down 
to  Benjamin  Sillas  as  the  Path  is  Now  Trod  Excepting  Nine 
Places  altered  and  Straightened  by  Spotted  Trees.  Said  High- 
way to  be  three  Rods  wide."  This  road  was  again  laid  out  and 
straightened  in  1789. 

The  Beech  Hill  or  Swett  Road,  from  the  foot  of  the  hill  near 
and  southeast  of  the  present  Fifield  bridge,  running  first  south- 
erly and  then  westerly,  about  as  the  road  now  lies,  towards  the 
Beech  Hill  schoolhouse,  to  laud  of  Jedediah  Sleeper,  was  laid 
out  in  1781. 

The  Range  Road,  from  the  corner  east  of  the  present  resi- 
dence of  Henry  ]\I.  Thompson  on  Beech  Hill,  westerly  to  the 
Eastman  place,  was  first  laid  out  in  1781,  and  extended  easterly 
to  the  Richard  Elkins  place  in  1791. 

The  road  from  AVeare's  Corner,  on  Taunton  Hill,  to  the 
Tucker  corner,  northeasterly  from  John  Bachelder's  house,  was 
laid  out  in  June,  1782. 

THE  COLLEGE  ROAD. 

On  July  4,  1774,  the  proprietors  voted  (see  abstracts  of  rec- 
ords) to  build  a  road  "from  the  ]Mills  iu  said  New  Brittain  to 
meet  a  Road  at  New  Chester  Line  that  is  Now  Cleared  or  ]\Iarked 
out  through  said  New  Chester  and  other  To\ms  to  Hanover." 
This  was  soon  called  the  "College  Road." 

The  road,  as  built,  ran  from  the  mills  at  East  Andover  west- 
ward across  pond  brook,  now  Tilton  Brook,  past  the  late  John 
Bachelder's  place  and  on  to  the  New  Chester  line. 

Dea.  Jonathan  Weare  built  the  section  from  the  mills  to  the 
brook,  including  the  stone  bridge  over  the  brook,  and  Joseph 
Fellows  built  the  remainder.  Fellows  was  allowed  thirty  dol- 
lars for  his  work. 

Prior  to  this  date  the  travel  northward  through  the  central 
part  of  the  town  had  been  by  a  spotted  trail  over  the  mountain, 
by  the  way  of  Taunton  Hill.  The  greater  part  of  the  travel 
through  New  Breton  from  the  southern  to  the  northern  towns 
had  been  bv  the  River  Road  along  the  Pemigewasset  River. 


Roads  and  Turnpikes.  20S 

The  rapidly  increasing  population  of  the  upper  towns  be- 
came dissatisfied  with  the  condition  of  the  road  over  the  moun- 
tain to  New  Chester,  and  northwestward,  and  in  1784  a  petition 
was  laid  before  the  Legislature  asking  for  a  better  road.  The 
Legislature  passed  an  act  to  lay  out  a  road,  four  rods  wide,  be- 
ginning at  the  River  Road  in  Boscawen  and  running  to  Con- 
necticut River,  at  or  near  Dartmouth  College. 

Timothy  Walker  of  Concord,  Ebenezer  Smith  of  Meredith 
and  Plenry  Gerrish  of  Boscawen  were  named  as  a  committee  to 
lay  out  the  improved  highway.  On  the  copy  of  the  act  sent  to 
Colonel  Gerrish  are  the  following  notes:  "1785,  May  24,  set 
out.  Returned  30th  d — 7  days.  Adjourned  to  Sept.  12,  1785, 
to  meet  at  Colonel  Gerrish 's,  Oct.  26th,  1785.  Made  a  Return 
of  said  Road  which  [was]  received  &  was  accepted  by  the  Gen- 
eral Court." 

This  return  has  not  been  found  among  the  records  of  the 
Legislature  of  1785 ;  but  the  following  purports  to  be  a  tran- 
script from  that  return  so  far  as  it  relates  to  the  route  in  An- 
dover. 

Beginning  on  the  north  at  "New  Chester  line  to  Benjamin  Cil- 
ley's  house  in  Andover,  thence  straight  (leaving  John  Sawyer's 
house  three  rods  to  the  north)  to  the  road  as  now  trod;  thence 
by  said  road  to  the  Bridge  over  the  Ragged  Mountain  Brook; 
thence  nearly  on  a  straight  course  to  a  stake  three  rods  to  the 
south  of  Simeon  Connor 's  barn ;  thence  on  a  straight  course  to 
the  road  by  Josiah  Scribner's  house;  thence  in  said  road  to  a 
Beech  tree  marked  E ;  thence  straight,  about  seventeen  rods 
across  Lieut.  John  Roes  land  to  the  Road;  thence  in  said  road 
to  Benjamin  Huntoon's  house  in  Salisbury."  From  the  last 
mentioned  point  the  road  was  to  run  to  the  River  Road  in  Bos- 
caw^en,  near  the  house  of  Col.  Henry  Gerrish. 

There  appears  to  be  no  record  of  the  construction  of  the  vari- 
ous links,  noted  in  the  above  return,  necessary  to  connect  the 
several  roads  already  traveled. 

The  "Hanover  Road"  was,  in  1787,  quite  neglected  and  un- 
finished, as  appears  by  an  Act  of  the  Legislature  on  January 
6  in  that  year  to  enforce  the  completion  of  the  road.  The  com- 
mittee appointed  to  build  that  road  were  authorized  to  proceed 
against  the  selectmen  of  each  town  that  failed  to  i>ut  the  road 


204  History  of  Andover. 

ill  passable  condition,  by  directing-  the  sheriff  to  levy  and  collect 
money,  goods  and  chattels,  of  tliose  officers  for  funds  to  con- 
struct the  road. 

As  finally  located,  the  "College  Road"  ran  from  Boscawen  to 
the  South  Road  village  in  Salisbury,  thence  to  the  Centre  Road, 
thence  northerly  into  Andover  along  the  west  base  of  Raccoon 
Hill  to  the  Tucker  corner;  thence  across  the  Plains  up  the  wes- 
terly side  of  Taunton  Hill,  and  nearly  along  the  location  of  the 
present  road,  northward  into  New  Chester. 

In  Salisbury  the  road  followed  in  a  general  way,  to  a  point 
a  few  rods  northerly  of  S.  P.  Webster's  house,  the  route 
subsequently  adopted  for  the  Fourth  New  Hampshire  Turnpike. 
The  location  of  a  part  of  this  road  is  now  plainly  visible  near  the 
house  of  Buron  W.  Sanborn  in  Salisbury. 

Another  account  of  that  section  of  the  road  on  Taunton  Hill 
reads:  "It  ran  westerly  in  front  of  Mrs.  Graves'  do^ni  to  the 
east  side  of  Captain  Morrill's  south  field  and  on  past  the  Currier 
place,  southward."  That  portion  of  the  road  near  the  north 
border  of  the  plains  was  called,  locally,  the  "slough"  road. 

In  1786  the  town  voted  to  raise  thirty  pounds  to  clear  out 
and  make  passable  the  College  Road,  laid  out  by  the  court's 
committee,  through  the  west  part  of  the  town  towards  Hanover. 

Apparently  no  very  active  measures  were  taken  to  make  the 
road  passable,  as  the  route  was  likely  to  divert  travel  from  the 
older  thoroughfare,  in  the  vicinity  of  which  most  of  the  influ- 
ential citizens  lived. 

In  October,  1783,  a  road,  sometimes  called  the  "Back"  Road, 
was  opened  eastward  from  the  Ellis  corner  past  the  Newel 
Healey  house,  now  the  W.  A.  Emery  place,  to  the  top  of  "Great 
Hill,"  where  it  joined  the  old  "Centre"  Road.  This  change 
greatly  improved  communication,  as  the  old  road  ran  with  many 
turns  much  farther  south. 

In  the  earlier  history  of  the  town  no  compensation  was  al- 
lowed owners  for  land  taken  for  roads,  but  that  policy  was  soon 
changed,  for  the  records  of  1781  show  that  Joseph  Tucker  was 
paid  for  land  for  a  road;  in  1782  John  Ash,  Charles  Hilton, 
Jonathan  Roberts  and  John  Rowe  were  paid  for  land  needed 
for  roads;  and  in  1783  Joseph  Philbrick,  Jeremiah  Fellows, 
Charles  Hilton,  Simeon  Connor  and  Joseph  Brown  were  paid  for 


Roads  and  Turnpikes.  205> 

land  taken  for  the  same  purpose.  In  some  cases  the  town  ex- 
changed portions  of  the  original  rangeways  for  the  land  needed 
for  roads. 

In  1782  the  highway  tax  was  £61  7s.  lOd.,  and  this  sum  was 
placed  in  the  hands  of  the  following  surveyors  to  be  used  in  their 
respective  districts. 

Nathaniel  Danforth  in  the  River  district. 
Samuel  Blake  in  the  Mills  district. 
Benjamin  Cilley  in  the  western  part  of  the  town. 
Joseph  Fellows  in  the  Flaghole  district. 
Moses  Clough  in  the  Boston  Hill  district. 
In  1783  the  first  road  from  East  Andover  Mills  to  Tilton 
corner,  the  Reuben  Bachelder  place,  was  straightened.     It  orig- 
inally ran  considerably  south  of  the  James  Marston  place. 

The  road  from  Blake's  corner  to  Tucker  ^Mountain  district 
was  laid  out  in  1788. 

In  1790  there  were  eight  highway  districts. 

ROADS  IN  ANDOVER  IN  1790. 

In  1790  the  principal  roads  in  Andover  were  as  follows :  The 
"River"  Road,  sometimes  called  the  "Military"  Road  or  the 
"Plymouth"  Road.  This  road  ran  north  and  south  along  the 
west  bank  of  the  Pemigewasset  River.  A  branch  of  this  road  ex- 
tended westward  to  the  "east  end  of  the  mountains." 

The  highway  called  the  "Centre"  Road  ran  from  the 
"River"  Road  around  the  north  side  of  Chance  pond,  about  as 
the  road  now  runs,  to  the  top  of  the  hill  sometimes  called 
Great  Hill,  where  Jacob  Weare  lived  in  1850,  thence  down 
the  hill  to  Mill  Brook  above  "Hogback"  ridge,  across  the  stream 
southwesterly  and  westerly  to  the  valley  southwest  of  the  ' '  Back 
Road"  schoolhouse,  continuing  along  this  valley  the  road 
emerged  from  the  ravine  at  the  southward  of  Hobbs'  Hill, 
turned  farther  south  over  the  knoll  and  continued  over  meet- 
ing-house hill  to  the  old  "Church  Common,"  and  to  the  saw 
and  gristmills.  A  branch  way  from  this  road  ran  along  the 
foot  of  the  hill,  north  of  the  cemetery,  down  to  ]Mill  Brook,  just 
below  the  gristmill,  which  was  near  Avhere  Busiel's  hosiery  mill 
now  stands.  Thence  along  the  west  side  of  the  sawmill  (the 
site  of  which  was  occupied  in  1880  by  the  Highland  ]\Iills)   to 


■206  TTisTORY  OP  Andover. 

a  point  near  the  W.  S.  Marston  place.  Another,  or  return  road, 
ran  from  the  Church  Common  easterly  b.y  a  route  now  lost  in 
field  and  pasture,  through  the  Emery  region,  over  ]\Iarston  Hill 
along  the  south  side  of  Chance  Pond,  over  the  outlet  of  the 
pond  and  across  the  plains  to  the  "River"  Road  at  a  point  in 
-ward  one  of  the  present  city  of  Franklin. 

A  private  or  "driftway,"  laid  out  by  the  selectmen  in  1788, 
extended  from  Blake  corner,  near  where  C.  B.  Hilton  now  lives, 
^'across  Mill  brook"  to  the  Tucker  IMountain  Road,  and  an- 
other driftway  ran  from  the  vicinity  of  the  Back  or  North  Road 
schoolhouse  to  the  Timothy  Weare  farm. 

From  a  point  a  little  westward  from  the  sawmill  ran  a  way 
along  near  the  present  location  of  the  Tucker  Mountain  Road. 
This  was  laid  out  by  the  selectmen,  as  far  as  the  farm  now 
owned  by  G.  E.  Eastman,  in  1788.  Another  road  was  open 
from  the  mills  and  the  Mountain  Road  corner,  northwesterly 
along  the  north  side  of  Loon  Pond,  up  the  valley  of  the  Tilton 
brook  to  a  point  on  the  "College"  Road. 

From  Barnard's  corner  a  road  ran  southerly,  as  at  the  pres- 
ent time,  to  the  town  line  where  a  range  road,  on  the  south  line 
of  the  town,  extended  easterly  to  the  top  of  the  hill  beyond 
Flaghole. 

At  the  site  of  the  present  Flaghole  schoolhouse  a  road  di- 
verged in  a  northeasterly  direction  through  that  settlement. 

From  the  Raino  corner  west  of  Flaghole,  a  range  road  ex- 
tended west  to  the  Stevenstown  or  Salisbury  North  Road,  and 
thence  in  a  generally  northwesterly  direction  to  Connor's  tavern 
on  Boston  Hill,  and  thence  westerly  down  the  hill,  across  the 
plains  to  "Long"  bridge  at  Great  Brook. 

This  was  at  first  called  a  part  of  the  "College  Road"  to  a 
point  west  of  the  present  Boston  Hill  schoolhouse;  from  that 
point  the  College  Road  ran  across  the  plains,  up  the  westerly 
side  and  over  the  Taunton  Hill  to  New  Chester,  etc. 

From  the  site  of  the  Boston  Hill  schoolhouse,  the  road  run- 
ning over  Great  Brook  on  the  Long  bridge  and  westerly 
through  Andover  Centre  was  known  as  the  Great  or  State  Road. 

From  the  Brown  Hill  Road,  at  the  bend  southeast  from  the 
Brown  place,  a  highway  extended  southwest  down  the  hill  to 
Bailey  brook,  continuing  over  Boston  hill  to  Long  bridge  corner 


Roads  and  Turnpikes.  207 

on  the  plains,  crossing  the  original  College  Road  by  an  offset 
at  Kilburn's  corner.  The  cross  road  from  the  Connor  place, 
running  northerly  to  the  Cilley  corner,  followed  closely  the  lo- 
cation of  the  present  road. 

A  private  "driftway"  connected  the  Boston  Hill  Road  with 
the  mill  and  meeting-house  locality  by  a  route  through  the  pine 
Avoods  on  the  little  plains  and  at  the  east  of  the  north  meadow  of 
Loon  Pond  to  the  Church  Common. 

From  the  road  extending  between  the  mills  and  the  j\Iark 
Batchelder  corner  a  road  M'as  open  as  it  now  runs  past  the 
parsonage,  where  Hale  Flanders  now  lives,  to  the  College  Road 
on  Taunton  Hill. 

From  the  Graves  corner  on  Taunton  Hill  a  road  ran  nearly  as 
it  now  lies,  westward  to  Ragged  Mountain  Brook,  thence  to 
Swett's  corner  and  southerly  to  the  road  near  Horseshoe  Pond; 
and  another  highway  was  open  from  this  road,  near  the  Ragged 
^Mountain  Brook,  up  into  the  "Bear  World." 

From  the  road  to  Salisbury,  west  of  Raccoon  Hill,  a  range 
road  ran  eastward  over  the  hill  to  the  Raino  farm. 

A  much-used  road,  starting  from  the  south  line  of  Andover 
at  the  western  foot  of  Raccoon  Hill,  extending  northerly  to 
Tucker's  corner,  thence  northwesterly  across  the  Great  plains, 
past  the  present  Merrill  farm,  to  the  junction  with  the  State 
Road  at  Long  bridge  corner.  This  important  link  in  the  north 
and  westward  route  through  Salisbury,  Andover  Centre,  West 
Andover,  etc.,  was  sometimes  called  the  " Protectworth  Road." 

The  "Great"  or  "State"  Road  extended  from  "Long 
Bridge"  over  "Great"  brook  at  a  point  southwest  of  the  pres- 
ent wood  and  lumber  railroad  station  on  the  "plains"  westerly 
to  the  vicinity  of  the  present  Centre  village.  At  this  point  the 
road  curved  southward,  passing  south  of  the  present  new  and 
old  cemeteries,  reaching  the  highway,  as  now  located,  near  the 
Keniston  corner,  where  Vivian  Quimby  now  lives,  and  follow- 
ing generally  the  line  of  the  present  highway  to  the  "]\Iorey" 
Hill  east  of  Potter  Place.  There  the  road  curved  south,  fol- 
lowing the  present  site  of  the  railway  past  Potter  Place  and  then 
generally  following  the  direction  of  the  present  highway  on  to 
AVest  Andover.  Thence  the  road  ran  northwestward  through 
the  Dudley  neighborhood  to  the  town  line.     This  road  was  first 


208  History  of  Andover. 

put  in  condition  for  travel  in  1784  and  finished  in  1786- '87. 
It  had  been  "bushed  out"  before  that  date.  It  Avas  first  laid 
out  three  rods  wide,  by  the  town,  in  1780. 

From  the  present  Potter  Place  a  road  was  laid  out  April  2,. 
1788,  southwesterly  along  the  line  of  the  present  highway,  past 
Aaron  Cilley's  mill  to  the  line  of  "Kearsage  Gore,"  now  Wil- 
mot. 

A  road  was  also  open  from  the  Keniston  corner  to  the  region 
of  the  Great  MeadoAV,  since  called  Baehelder  or  Fellows  meadow. 
From  Andover  Centre  a  road  ran  southward  over  the  Black- 
water  River  and  up  the  valley  of  Nether  Pond  Brook.  No  rec- 
ord has  been  found  that  this  section  of  the  road  was  ever  laid  out 
by  the  selectmen.  At  a  point  not  far  from  the  present  residence 
of  Charles  Merrill  the  road  turned  southeast,  running  east  of 
Apple  Hill  to  the  town  line,  connecting  there  with  a  road  laid 
out  by  the  town  of  Salisbury. 

The  road  from  Keniston  corner  to  Mompey  Hill  was  open  in 
1790  and  extended  to  the  Fourth  Range. 

The  path,  from  a  point  on  the  ' '  Back  "  or  "  North ' '  road,  near 
where  the  schoolhouse  afterwards  stood,  to  Stephen  Green's, 
now  the  William  Weare  place,  was  laid  out  as  a  highway,  one  and 
one-half  rods  wide,  on  August  28,  1792.  Joseph  Brown  and 
Ephraim  Sanborn  lived  near  the  road  as  located. 

In  1793  the  town  laid  out  a  road  across  the  stream  at  East 
Andover,  just  south  of  the  sawmill  owned  by  John  Roberts,  and 
through  his  mill  yard.  He  objected  strenuously.  The  bridge 
was  built  low,  very  near  the  water,  so  that  he  could  not  raise 
the  water  much  without  floating  the  bridge.  Finally,  in  1794, 
on  condition  that  the  selectmen  should  raise  the  bridge  one  foot. 
he  Avithdrew  all  objection  to  the  highway  and  peace  reigned 
once  more. 

"At  Court  of  Common  Pleas  Holden  at  Amherst  in  County 
of  Hillsborough,  2'^  Tuesday  of  ]\Iar.  1796:  on  Petition  of  Philip 
Mitchell  praying  for  damages;  Court  ordered  a  Committee  con- 
sisting of  John  C.  Gale.  Jona.  Fifield  &  Abel  Elkins  to  examine 
the  road  laid  out  and  report  such  compensation  as  they  think 
proper  the  petitioner  should  receive.  Reported  the  Selectmen 
had  not  tendered  sufficient  compensation  and  that  ]\Iitchell  be 
paid  $30.00  for  the  road  crossing  his  land  and  $18.00  cost  of 
court. ' ' 


Roads  and  Turnpikes.  209 

In  1798  the  road  past  the  Corliss  house  was  discontinud ;  and 
a  road  to  take  its  place,  running  from  the  foot  of  the  small 
Corliss  hill  to  Barnard's  corner  was  laid  out  in  1799. 

The  Philbrick  Road  from  the  North  Road  to  the  east  end  of 
the  mountain  towards  the  Call  neighborhood  was  laid  out  Sep- 
tember 16,  1801. 

The  Robie  Spring  Road  was  laid  out  by  order  of  the  court  in 
1801.  The  cross  road  from  North  Road  to  the  Emery  Road 
was  finally  laid  out,  as  it  now  runs,  in  1801. 

(The  road  at  first  called  the  "Back"  Road  was  in  1801 
recorded  as  the  "North"  Road  and  the  latter  name  will  be  con- 
tinued in  these  records.) 

The  road  over  Beech  Hill  from  Salisbury  line  northward- 
through  the  farms  of  "Weare  Hilliard  and  George  Seavey  was 
laid  out  March  15,  1794.  and  accepted  by  the  town,  July  7,  1794. 

The  continuation  of  this  road  to  and  across  Blackwater  River 
to  the  State  Road  was  laid  out  June  18,  1794,  and  accepted  by 
the  town  July  7,  1794. 

The  above  sections,  taken  together,  constituted  the  road  from 
the  Centre  village  over  Beech  Hill  past  the  schoolhouse  to  Salis- 
bury line;  in  direction  and  location  generally  as  it  is  now  trav- 
elled, past  the  Hervey  Elkins  place. 

The  road  from  the  "southeast  corner  of  Isaiah  Langley's 
farm,"  now  owned  by  Henry  M.  Thompson,  on  Beech  Hill, 
northward  to  the  road  from  the  east  side  of  Beech  Hill,  at  a 
point  near  W'here  the  large  elm  tree  now  stands,  was  laid  out 
August  22.  1794,  and  accepted  December  8,  1794. 

In  1801  some  of  the  citizens  of  East  Andover  wanted  a  road 
on  the  west  side  of  the  stream  from  Loon  Pond  to  the  mill,  with 
a  bridge  over  the  outlet  of  the  pond.  They  began  work  on  the 
road  and  bridge,  but  meeting  with  no  encouragement  from  the 
town  authorities,  they  petitioned  the  court  ' '  for  a  highway  to  be 
laid  out  in  Andover  from  Capt.  Wm.  Proctor's  house  to  strike 
the  south  road  in  said  town  near  Roby  Spring,  so  called." 

In  March,  1802,  the  court  appointed  a  committee  consisting  of 
General  Blood.  ]\Iajor  Wallace  and  Aaron  Greeley,  Esq.,  to  lay 
out  the  road.  The  committee  reported  that  they  had  "laid  out 
the  road  three  rods  wide  as  follows:  Beginning  at  the  south- 
erly side  of  the  higliAvay  opposite  Capt.  William  Proctor's  dwell-

ing  house  and  nigh  the  westerly  side  of  INlr.  Stickney's  store, 
between  two  Stakes  and  Stones,  we  set  thence  S.  2'^  E. — 22  rods 
through  Mr.  Stickney's  land  to  Mr.  Robert's  land,  the  same 
course  66  rods  to  the  pond;  thence  the  same  course  over 
the  outlet  of  the  pond  about  20  rods,  thence  southerly  about 
the  same  course,  by  the  line  between  two  lots  of  land,  tak- 
ing the  whole  width  of  the  road  off  the  west  lot,  221/-^  rods; 
thence  S.  40°  E. — 14  rods  through  Ebenezer  Tucker's  land; 
then  the  same  course  through  John  Bailey's  land  14  rods  to 
Bailey's  road  (so  called),  thence  on  the  same  course  and  five 
rods,  through  James  N.  Pervere's  land;  then  S.  22°  E. — 54 
rods;  then  S.  15°  E.— 36  rods;  then  S.  19°  E.— 86  rods;  then 
S.  10°  E. — 40  rods  further  through  said  Pervere's  land  to  the 
South  road  in  Andover  provided  the  petitioners  complete  the 
Bridge  that  is  now  begun  over  the  outlet  of  the  pond  within 
one  year  at  their  own  proper  cost  and  charge  the  bridge  to  be 
covered  with  good  square  edged  w^hite  pine  plank  three  inches 
thick  and  good  rails  put  upon  each  side  of  the  bridge  the  whole 
length  thereof  the  whole  of  the  [bridge]  to  be  well  built  of  good 
sound  timber.  The  above  road  to  be  opened  by  the  town  of  An- 
dover within  one  year.  We  estimate  the  damage  of  the  above 
road  as  follows: — viz.  to  Mr.  Stickney  D.3.00;  Mr.  Roberts, 
D.10.00;  Mr.  Hilton  D.5.00;  Mr.  Brown,  D.12.00:  Ebenezer 
Tucker  D.2.50;  John  Bailey  D.2.50  and  James  N.  Pervere 
D. 50.00  to  be  paid  by  the  town  of  Andover  within  one  year  and 
the  petitioners  receive  of  the  town  of  Andover  D.35.00.  Cost 
of  Committee  and  cost  of  Court  taxed  in  common  form." 

The  court  granted  the  petition  as  reported  by  the  committee 
and  put  the  cost  of  court  at  $15.36. 

The  road,  as  surveyed,  was  about  380  rods  long  and,  accord- 
ing to  the  appraisal  of  the  committee,  the  land  was  worth  about 
$14  per  acre.     The  road  and  bridge  were  finished  in  1803. 

Previous  to  the  building  of  this  road  the  travel  from  the 
mills  at  East  Andover  village  had  been  through  the  south  field 
of  the  C.  A.  Durgin  estate,  thence  across  the  little  plain  near  the 
present  Lakeside  Cemetery  and  through  the  Haley  pasture. 

The  road  from  the  Weare  place  northward  over  Dea.  Samuel 
Cilley's  hill  to  New  Chester  was  laid  out  in  1806. 

The  road  from  Parker  Scribner's  corner  to  the  burial  place 
at  Sawyer's  corner  was  laid  out  in  1806. 


EoADS  AND  Turnpikes.  211 

In  1807  the  Captain  Tucker  road,  running  northeasterly  from 
the  Deacon  Kimball  or  Pettingill  place  to  Taunton  Hill,  was 
laid  out  by  a  court  committee. 

December  28,  1807,  the  Centre  Square  and  the  ranegway  lead- 
ing therefrom  to  the  Badcock  Road  was  sold  at  auction  to  Dr. 
Jacob  B.  Moore  for  $271.75.  Samuel  Graves,  "Vendue  Mas- 
ter." 

For  several  years  there  was  a  bitter  local  controversy  in  re- 
gard to  the  location  of  the  road  leading  southerly  from  East 
Andover  village.  Should  it  lie  on  the  east  or  the  west  side  of 
the  outlet  of  the  pond  was  the  vital  question. 

Finally,  in  1809,  a  road  was  laid  out  and  built  on  the  east 
side  of  the  outlet  of  the  pond,  near  the  location  of  the  present 
road,  and  superseding  the  one  built  in  1803  on  the  west  side 
and  over  the  bridge.  The  irritation  of  the  controversy,  how- 
ever, did  not  immediately  subside. 

In  1823  the  town  was  indited  for  neglecting  the  road  bridge 
over  the  outlet  of  the  pond. 

A  new  section  of  road  from  near  the  big  elm  tree  on  the  east 
Beech  Hill  Road  to  a  point  on  the  west  Beech  Hill  Road,  near 
the  present  Hame  Company's  shop,  was  laid  out  in  1815. 

A  short  road,  running  northerly  from  the  "Smithfield" 
Road  to  the  sawmill  of  Jonathan  Roberts,  was  laid  out  in  1820. 

In  1821  a  highway  from  Salisbury  along  the  easterly  shore 
of  Bradley  Pond  to  the  highway  between  the  Centre  village 
and  Potter  Place  was  laid  out  by  the  court's  commission  and 
three  years  were  allowed  for  building  it.  That  portion  from 
Salisbury  line  northerlj-,  about  one  mile,  was  nearly  finished 
when  the  town  of  Salisbury  refused  to  build  its  section  and  the 
road  was  abandoned. 

In  a  Avarrant  for  one  of  the  Andover  town  meetings  this  road 
was  called  the  "Imperial  Turnpike." 

In  a  portion  of  the  above  line,  from  the  western  end  of  the 
highway,  near  J.  E.  Fitzgerald's  house,  northwesterly  past  the 
house  of  W.  Lorden  to  the  highway  running  southerly  from  the 
Keniston  corner,  a  road  was  laid  out  by  the  selectmen,  but  was 
never  built. 

In  1823- '24  the  causeway  across  the  meadow  south  of  the 
mills  at  East  Andover  village,  and  east  of  the  stream,  was  re- 


212  History  of  Andover. 

built  by  Capt.  Caleb  Marston  for  $.'J60.  It  was  called  the 
"Long  bridge." 

The  so-called  "Brook  Road"  below  "Dyer's  Crossing"  was 
laid  out  by  Ephraim  Eastman,  surveyor,  and  was  first  l)izilt  in 
1824  or  1825.  Capt.  Jonathan  Brown  of  Beech  Hill  was  the 
builder.  The  freshet  of  August  28,  1828,  destroyed  much  of 
this  road. 

Capt.  Caleb  Marston  was  very  much  opposed  to  the  road  and 
would  not  use  it.  He  drew  all  of  his  lumber,  largely  long  and 
heavy  masts,  over  the  hills  of  the  Emery  Road  and  Marston  Hill 
to  the  Merrimack  River. 

The  road  at  Cilleyville,  from  Potter  Place  to  Wilmot,  form- 
erly crossed  the  river  about  where  the  middle  of  the  carriage 
shop  now  stands.  It  was  changed  after  the  great  freshet  of 
August,  1826. 

The  "^lill  Brook"  Road,  from  the  Henry  Emery  corner  to 
the  Parker  Scribner  corner,  was  built  in  October  and  November, 
1827.  Capt.  Caleb  Marston  superintended  the  construction  and 
was  paid  $1.00  per  day.  The  road  was  completed  in  sixteen 
days.  Laborers  w^ere  paid  67  cents  per  day,  boarding  them- 
selves, and  a  man  with  a  yoke  of  oxen  received  $1.17  per  day. 

The  road  from  the  Gershom  Durgin  place,  where  the  late 
George  W.  IVIitchell  lived,  eastward  and  across  the  East  Andover 
plain  towards  the  East  Andover  village,  was  laid  out  by  a  court 
committee  in  September,  1834.  This  road,  the  section  past  the 
gristmill  and  the  change  at  the  "Gulf"  were  completed  in  1835. 

The  Andover  section  of  the  road  running  from  the  south  side 
of  the  Fourth  New  Hampshire  Turnpike,  near  the  Rev.  Samuel 
Robbins  place,  westAvard  towards  Gookin's  ]Mills.  was  laid  out 
September  21,  1835. 

That  section  of  road  from  the  corner  west  of  the  Hubbard 
Dudley  place  towards  the  causeway  at  the  outlet  of  Eagle  Pond 
w^as  built  about  1846. 

The  road  from  Cilleyville  to  "West  Andover.  on  the  west  side 
of  Bog  Pond,  was  laid  out  by  the  county  commissioners  in  1846. 

When  the  railroad  Avas  built  in  1846,  the  section  of  the  Brook 
Road  near  "Hogback"  was  abandoned  and  the  road  was  re- 
located on  the  hillside. 

The  link  connecting  the  old  road  to  the  True  and  Tucker 
farms  on  Tucker  Mountain,  with  the  old  College  Road  leading 


Birch  Avenue  on  the  Road  to  "Tucker  Mountain" 


Roads  and  Tlrxpikes.  213 

over  "Ragged  Mountain  pass"  to  Hill  and  beyond,  was  laid 
out  June  18,  1852. 

A  road  on  Beech  Hill  "from  Eben  Farnum's  south  bars  north- 
westerly to  Bachelder's  Road,  so  called,  through  land  of  R.  F. 
Eastman,  Eben.  Farnum,  Walcott  Hamlin  and  Isaac  R.  East- 
man, was  laid  out  November  6,  1853,  but  never  built.  It  was 
again  laid  out  in  1867,  but  not  built.  A  short  road  from  a 
point  west  of  the  Ziba  Severance  house  to  the  plains,  near 
Tucker  corner,  was  laid  out  October  2,  185-4. 

The  road  leading  from  Raino  corner  on  Raccoon  Hill  north- 
westerly to  the  East  Andover  and  West  Salisbury  road  on  the 
plains,  was  laid  out  November  30.  1860. 

In  1868  the  new  road  was  built  from  a  point  near  the  Andrew 
Seavey  sawmill,  towards  ^lorey  Hill.  In  1872  the  town  voted 
to  collect  the  highway  tax  and  have  all  the  work  on  the  roads 
done  under  the  direction  of  one  surveyor  or  superintendent.  In 
1873,  voted  to  return  to  the  old  system,  under  which  each  tax- 
payer worked  out  his  highway  tax  in  his  own  district,  at  a  fixed 
rate  per  hour. 

In  1875  a  wooden-covered  bridge  was  erected  over  the  river 
at  Andover  Centre.  For  many  years  the  old  structure  had  been 
known  as  the  "Seavey"  bridge,  so  named  for  Mr.  Henry 
Seavey,  whose  home  for  a  long  time  was  just  south  of  the  bridge. 

In  1878  new  guideboards,  or  post  guides,  as  they  were  first 
called,  were  erected  at  many  of  the  road  crossings  in  town. 
Most  of  the  guide  boards  then  standing  had  been  in  use  from 
thirty-five  to  forty  years. 

In  1880  the  old  bridge,  formerly  known  as  the  "Philbrick" 
bridge,  southeast  of  Kimball's  corner,  was  removed  and  replaced 
by  a  wooden-covered  bridge,  which  is  now  generally  known  as 
the  "Fifield  bridge." 

THE  FOURTH  NEW  HAMPSHIRE   TURNPIKE. 

This  road,  when  finished,  ran  from  Boscawen  "Plains" 
northerly  and  westerly  through  Salisbury  "South  Road"  and 
"Centre  Road,"  Andover  Centre,  Potter  Place,  West  Andover. 
Wilmot  Centre  and  Springfield  on  towards  the  Connecticut 
River  in  Lebanon. 

It  was  incorporated  by  an  Act  of  the  Legislature  passed  in 
the  autumn  of  1800. 


214  History  of  Andover. 

As  incorporators  the  Act  named  Elisha  Payne,  Russell  Free- 
man and  Constant  Storrs  and  their  associates  and  successors, 
etc. 

The  general  location  of  the  road  is  defined  as  below: 

"Sec.  3.  And  be  it  further  enacted,  that  the  said  corporation 
are  empowered  to  survey,  lay  out,  make  and  keep  in  repair  a 
turnpike  road  of  four  rods  wide,  on  such  route  or  tracks  as  in 
the  best  of  their  judgment  and  skill  shall  combine  shortness  of 
distance  with  the  most  practicable  ground  from  the  east  bank  of 
Connecticut  River,  in  the  town  of  Lebanon,  nearly  opposite  to 
the  mouth  of  White  River,  eastwardly  to  the  west  bank  of  the 
Merrimack  River  in  the  town  of  Salisbury  or  Boscawen ;  and 
also  to  survey,  lay  out,  make  and  keep  in  repair,  as  aforesaid, 
a  turnpike  road,  four  rods  wide,  from  the  east  abutment  of 
White  River  Falls  bridge  in  Hanover  southeastwardly  till  it 
intersects  the  road  first  mentioned  and  be  a  branch  thereof." 

A  committee  consisting  of  James  Whitelaw  of  Ryegate,  Gen. 
Elias  Stevens  of  Royalton  and  Maj.  Micah  Barron  of  Bradford, 
all  of  Vermont,  was  chosen  by  the  proprietors  to  survey  and 
lay  out  the  route. 

From  Horseshoe  Pond  in  Andover  two  routes  were  selected,, 
through  Salisbury  and  Boscawen,  to  the  IMerrimack  River.  On 
that  section  of  the  route  the  report  was  as  below: 

' '  From  said  pond  through  Salisbury,  two  routes : — the  north- 
ern by  Maj.  Gale's  to  Col.  Gerrish's  is  9  miles  113  rods;  from 
said  Gerrish's  to  Boscawen  meeting-house  is  2  miles  240  rods; 
from  Horse  Shoe  pond  through  the  south  vale  in  Salisbury  by 
Esq.  Bean's  to  Boscawen  Meetinghouse  is  10  miles  226  rods 
which  is  1  mile  113  rods  further  than  to  Col.  Gerrish's.  but 
is  1  mile  127  rods  nearer  than  the  north  route  by  Col.  Gerrish's 
to  Boscawen  Meeting  house.  Your  committee  recommend  the 
south  route  by  Esq.  Bean's  provided  there  is  no  particular  em- 
barrassments in  procuring  the  land. ' ' 

At  this  time  "south  vale"  is  an  unknown  locality. 

When  the  report  of  the  committee  was  presented  to  the 
corporation  at  a  meeting  on  September  24,  1801.  the  northern 
route  by  ^Major  Gale's  to  Colonel  Gerrish's  was  unanimously 
adopted.  John  C.  Gale  was  chosen  one  of  the  five  directors. 
At  a  later  meeting  the  route  through  the  "south  vale"  by 
Esquire  Bean's  to  Boscawen  meeting-house  was  adopted.     By

this  time  much  interest  in  the  plans  of  the  company  had  devel- 
oped. 

The  south  and  centre  villages  in  Salisbury  were  earnestly  op- 
posed to  the  adopted  route  and  sharp,  sometimes  bitter,  dis- 
cussion followed.  At  first  each  village  tried  to  secure  the  route 
through  its  own  locality,  leaving  the  other  with  no  advantages. 
This  struggle  for  selfish  ends  delayed  the  completion  of  the 
turnpike  until  a  committee  of  the  proprietors  reported  that  un- 
der certain  conditions  it  * '  ought  to  be  made  by  the  two  meeting- 
houses," that  is,  through  the  two  Salisbury  villages,  and  there 
the  road  was  finally  built. 

The  notes  of  the  final  survey  from  Dea.  Amos  Pettingill's 
house  at  the  Centre  village,  afterwards  known  as  the  Searle's 
place,  to  and  through  Andover,  across  the  line  into  Wilmot,  were 
as  given  below :

"Which  road  is  four  rods  wide  southwesterly  from  the  afore- 
said bounds."  The  "cross  road  near  the  bridge  last  built  by 
Captain  Harriman"  ran  from  a  point  a  few  rods  west  of  Horse- 
shoe Pond,  across  the  river  near  the  present  Fifield  bridge  and 
on  south  up  Beech  Hill. 

The  "Walter  Waldo"  place  Avas  a  tavern  at  Potter  Place. 
The  "Harriman  bridge"  still  stands  at  West  Andover,  ten 
rods  or  more  below'  where  Fifield 's  mills  once  stood.     It  is  prob- 
able that  Bonney's  mill,  the  first  in  the  westerly  part  of  the 
town,  stood  on  or  near  the  site  of  Fifield 's  mills. 

The  Andover  section  of  the  turnpike  was  built  by  Capt. 
Stephen  Harriman  of  Vermont.  He  built  a  light,  but  strong, 
frame  house,  about  thirty  feet  long,  resting  on  solid  wooden 
trucks  for  convenience  in  moving  from  point  to  point  as  the 
work  progressed.  Two  smart,  capable  daughters  did  the  cook- 
ing for  a  gang  of  more  than  twenty  workmen,  who  lodged  in 
tents.  Eight  yoke  of  oxen  used  on  the  road  were  able  to  move 
the  building  along  as  required,  and  a  span  of  horses  brought  up 
the  rear  of  the  procession  on  "moving  day,"  drawing  a  large

The  schedule  of  tolls  on  the  turnpike  was  provided  in  a  section 
of  the  charter  as  given  below  : 

Sect.  6.  And  be  it  further  eu:veted  that  it  shall  and  may  be  lawful 
for  said  corporation  to  appoint  such  and  so  many  toll  gatherers,  as  they 
shall  think  proper,  to  collect  and  receive  of  and  from  all  &  every  person 
or  persons  using  said  road  the  tolls  and  rates  hereinafter  mentioned; 
and  to  prevent  any  person  riding,  leading  or  driving  any  horses,  cattle, 
hogs,  sheep,  sulkey,  chair,  chaise,  phaeton,  coach,  chariot,  cart,  wagon 
sley,  sled  or  other  carriage  of  burthen  or  pleasure  from  passing  through 
the  said  gates  or  turn  pikes  until  they  shall  have  respectively  paid  the 
same,  that  is  to  say,  for  every  mile  of  said  road  and  so  in  proportion  for 
a  greater  or  less  distance,  or  greater  or  smaller  number  of  sheep,  hogs 
or  cattle;  viz.  for  every  fifteen  sheep  or  hogs,  one  cent;  for  every 
fifteen  cattle  or  horses,  two  cents;  for  every  horse  and  his  rider  or  led 
horse,  three  fourths  of  one  cent ;  for  every  sulkey.  chair  or  chaise  with 
one  horse  or  two  wheels,  one  and  an  half  cents;  for  every  chariot,  coach 
or  stage  wagon,  phaeton  or  chaise  with  two  horses  and  four  wheels, 
three  cents ;  for  either  of  the  carriages  last  mentioneil  with  four  horses, 
four  cents :  for  every  other  carriage,  the  like  sums,  according  to  the 
number  of  wheels  and  horses  drawing  the  same;  for  each  cart  or  other 
carriage  of  burthen  with  wheels  drawn  by  one  beast,  one  cent ;  for  each 
cart  or  other  carriage  of  burthen  drawn  by  two  beasts,  one  and  an  half 
cents ;  if  by  more  than  two  beasts,  one  cent  for  each  additional  yoke  of 
oxen  or  horse ;  for  each  sley  drawn  by  one  horse,  three  fourths  of  one 
cent;  if  drawn  by  two  horses,  one  and  an  half  cent,  and  if  by  more  than 
two  horses  half  a  cent  for  every  additional  horse;  for  each  sled  drawn 
by  one  horse,  half  of  one  cent:  for  each  sled  drawn  by  two  horses  or  a 
yoke  of  oxen,  one  cent;  and  if  by  more  than  two  horses  or  one  yoke  of 
oxen  one  cent  for  each  additional  pair  of  horses  or  yoke  of  oxen;  and 
at  all  times  when  the  toll  gatherer  shall  not  attend  his  duty  the  gates 
shall  be  left  open,  and  if  any  person  shall  with  his  carriage,  team, 
cattle  or  horses  turn  out  of  said  road  to  pass  the  said  turnpike  gates  on 
ground  adjacent  thereto,  said  ground  not  being  a  public  highway,  with 
intent  to  avoid  the  payment  of  the  toll  due.  by  virtue  of  this  act  such 
person  shall  forfeit  and  pay  three  times  so  much  as  the  legal  toll  would 
have  been,  to  be  recovered  by  the  treasurer  of  the  said  Corporation,  to 
the  use  thereof  in  an  action  of  debt  or  on  the  case:  in-ovidwl  that  noth- 
ing in  this  act  shall  extend  to  entitle  the  corporation  to  demand  toll  of 
any  person  who  shall  be  passing  with  his  horse  or  carriage  to  or  from 
/public  worship,  or  with  his  horse,  team  or  cattle,  or  on  foot,  to  or  from 
any  mill  or  on  their  common  or  ordinary  business  of  family  concerns 
within  the  town  where  such  person  belongs.

south  was  north  of  the  Webster  place,  in  SaHsbury,  and  just 
south  of  the  point  where  the  road  branches  to  go  to  East  An- 
dover. 

The  turnpike  was  finished  and  accepted  by  the  corporation  in 
the  autumn  of  1804.  From  Clark's  tavern  at  "West  Andover  to 
the  Dearborn  tavern,  where  the  road  now  forks  just  east  of 
Nathan  Woodbury's,  it  was  three  miles  and  232  rods. 

The  first  record  of  appointment  of  toll  gatherers  was  on  Feb- 
ruary 7,  1809. 

The  toll  gatherers  were  sworn  and  gave  bonds  for  $500  for 
faithful  discharge  of  their  duties. 

It  was  provided  in  the  charter  that  the  road  should  be  com- 
pleted in  six  years  from  the  date  of  incorporation,  and  also  that 
at  any  time  after  the  expiration  of  forty  years  from  the  date  of 
incorporation  the  state  might  take  possession  of  the  road  on  pay- 
ment of  expenditures  and  twelve  per  cent,  annual  profit,  less 
the  tolls  actually  received,  etc. 

So  far  as  now  known,  no  one  outside  of  the  corporation  ever 
knew  how  valuable  the  road  was  to  its  o\vners. 

The  following  paper,  purporting  to  be  a  copy  of  a  report  of 
the  directors,  has  come  to  the  hand  of  the  writer,  but  its  accuracy

Lebanon,  May  24,  1836. 

Roads  with  toll  gates  are  seldom  popular  with  the  people 
along  the  route,  and  the  foitrth  New  Hampshire  turnpike  was  no 
exception  to  the  general  law.  At  first  the  advantages  of  a  better 
road  were  generally  appreciated,  but  as  the  population  increased 


Roads  and  Turnpikes.  219 

and  the  quality  of  adjacent  roads  was  improved,  the  tolls,  as 
taxes  on  transportation,  were  soon  considered  in  the  aggregate 
as  a  burden.  A  large  amount  of  freight  for  Salisbury,  Andover 
and  the  towns  toward  the  Connecticut  River  was  carried  over 
this  route,  and  the  frequent  tolls  were  no  small  addition  to  the  ex- 
penses of  the  merchants  along  the  line.  As  the  time  approached 
when,  under  certain  conditions,  the  state  would  have  the  right 
to  take  possession  of  the  road,  petitions  to  the  Legislature  urging 
the  state  to  exercise  its  privilege  began  to  appear  from  the  towns 
between  Andover  and  Lebanon. 

Finally,  in  1840,  a  court  committee,  consisting  of  Simeon 
Colby,  Moses  Norris,  Jr.,  and  Nathaniel  S.  Berry,  after  due 
investigation,  made  the  turnpike  from  West  Andover  to  the 
Boscawen  end  a  free  road,  and  Andover  was  ordered  to  pay 
$566  as  its  proportion  for  the  benefit  of  the  stockholders  of  the 
turnpike. 

With  the  abolition  of  tolls  business  increased  apace.  Freights 
to  the  M^estern  toAMis  of  New  Hampshire  and  to  the  eastern  towns 
of  Vermont  were  increasingly  attracted  to  this  route,  and  soon 
the  daily  procession  of  freight  teams  over  the  Salisbury  hills, 
along  the  banks  of  the  Blackwater  River  in  Andover,  and  west- 
ward over  the  rugged  way  through  Wilmot  and  Springfield 
developed  and  fostered  a  sympathetic  interest  among  the  dwell- 
ers along  that  route  that  never  flagged  until  1847  when  the  well- 
known  eight-horse  teams  of  Balch  and  the  one-horse  team  of  the 
up  country  farmer  vanished  at  the  blast  of  the  steam  whistle 
as  the  iron  rails  won  and  held  their  way  through  rock  and  glen 
and  over  bog  and  bridge  toward  White  River  Junction. 

But  the  vision  of  that  unfailing  line  of  teams  is  still  a  charm- 
ing memory  to  those  who  can  recall  the  scenes  of  sixty  years  ago. 
Balch 's  teams  of  eight  well-groomed  white  horses,  one  team 
driven  by  a  stalwart  negro,  a  striking  figure  in  those  days ;  six- 
horse  and  four-horse  teams  to  handle  the  heavier  freight ;  three- 
horse  or  spike  teams;  two-horse  or  pod  teams,  and  one-horse 
teams,  or  pungs,  in  the  winter,  trailed  along  the  way  to  and 
from  Boston,  Salem,  Gloucester  and  Portsmouth,  doing  that 
freighting  for  the  manufacturer,  grocer  and  farmer  which  now 
flies  shrieking  through  our  villages  in  the  darkness,  the  mechan- 
ical, materialized  ghost  of  the  old  way  with  the  human  element 
and  "man's  best  friend"  left  out. 


220  History  op  Andover. 

The  writer  recalls  with  vivid  distinctness  the  view  of  the 
Common  east  of  Monlton's  tavern,  on  more  than  one  pleasant 
winter  evening.  Nearly  all  the  space  was  covered  with  the 
parked  sleighs  and  sleds  of  many  varieties,  from  the  huge  van 
drawn  by  eight  horses  to  the  little  one-horse  box  pung,  filled 
with  the  butter,  cheese,  poultry,  etc.,  of  the  New  Hampshire  or 
Vermont  farmer,  seeking  a  market  "down  below."  Each  stall 
in  the  roomy  barns  of  the  tavern  was  filled  and,  when  business 
was  unusual,  horses  were  accommodated  in  the  barns  of  Esq. 
Peter  Fifield  and  other  neighboring  farmers. 

Not  the  least  interesting  by  any  means  was  an  occasional 
pung  or  pod  going  westward  loaded  with  fresh  frozen  cod 
or  haddock,  weighing  from  ten  to  forty  pounds  each,  and  fre- 
quently piled  up  on  the  sled  like  cordwood.  These  fish  were 
sometimes  sold  to  people  along  the  route,  and  the  chowders  and 
steaks  from  the  larger  fish  were  a  welcome  break  in  the  monot- 
onous routine  of  salt  pork  and  beef  in  the  winter  menu  of  sixty 
years  ago. 

The  regular  teamsters  were  well  known  to  most  of  the  residents 
along  the  route,  and  among  themselves  their  mutual  acquaint- 
ance stimulated  respect  and  good  comradeship.  Out  of  their 
ranks  came  many  of  the  successful  men  in  the  varied  phases  of 
business  that  developed  along  new  lines  when  the  old  methods 
of  transportation  were  overturned. 

Still  another  class  of  men  were  beneficiaries  of  the  old  system. 
Many  farmers  felt  that  there  might  be  some  advantage  in  seek- 
ing their  own  market,  and  a  winter  pilgrimage  to  the  markets  on 
Massachusetts  bay  became  for  them  an  annual  outing.  With 
their  pungs  and  pods  filled  with  the  best  of  the  surplus  from 
their  farms,  they  found  their  way  singly  or  in  twos  or  threes  to 
the  big  road,  and  took  up  the  route  for  "down  below"  and  a 
market. 

Frequently  half  a  dozen  teams  would  form  a  group  and  keep 
together  for  the  trip,  sleeping  in  the  taverns,  and  on  the  down 
trips  eating  the  food  they  had  taken  from  home,  sometimes  sup- 
plemented by  generous  mugs  of  the  landlord's  flip.  At  the  end 
of  their  journey  they  met  in  person  the  merchants  with  whom 
they  traded ;  there  was  time  for  discussion,  for  interchange  of 
information,  high  quality  of  wares  was  duly  appreciated,  mutual 


Roads  and  Turnpikes.  221 

respect  and  confidence  were  developed;  sometimes  friendships 
resulted,  and  the  travellers  started  on  their  homeward  trips 
Avith  teams  well  laden  with  familj^  stores  and  with  pockets  and 
minds  well  plenished  for  the  work  of  the  coming  year. 

Repeated  trips  improved  the  friendships  with  their  fellows 
and  widened  their  horizons  as  good  citizens. 

Has  the  middleman  improved  the  character  of  either  merchant 
or  farmer,  who  now  never  meet? 

GRAFTON  TURNPIKE. 
This  turnpike  was  incorporated  June  21.  1804,  to  run  from 
Orford  bridge  on  the  Connecticut  River  to  Ilarriman's  bridge  at 
West  Andover.  Four  years  were  allowed  for  the  completion  of 
the  road.  In  1808  this  time  was  extended  by  the  Legislature 
three  years  more.  On  application  by  the  proprietors,  the  charter 
was  repealed  by  the  Legislature  on  January  3,  1829.  This  road 
ran  from  West  Andover  to  South  Danbury.  on  to  Danbury  and 
through  Grafton,  etc.,  about  as  the  main  road  is  now  travelled. 

THE  NORTHERN  RAILROAD. 

The  demand  for  speed  in  freight  and  passenger  transportation 
towards  the  growing  west  soon  relegated  the  six-  and  eight-horse 
freight  teams  to  the  lighter  express  business  or  to  the  more  pro- 
saic work  of  tilling  the  hillside  farms  of  New  Hampshire,  and 
condemned  the  Concord  stage  coaches  to  the  scrap  heap  or  to 
the  musuems  for  curiosities  or  antiques. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  incorporators  of  the  Northern  Rail- 
road Company  was  holden  at  Lebanon,  January  31,  1845,  and 
in  1847  the  section  of  the  Fourth  New  Hampshire  Turnpike 
lying  in  the  town  of  Andover  was  practically  free  from  the 
stage  coach  and  freight  teams  that  for  many  years  had  made  it 
a  busy  thoroughfare. 

By  joint  action  of  the  railroad  company  and  the  county  com- 
missioners, the  damages  for  land  taken  by  the  railroad  company 
in  Andover  was  fixed  at  $6,547.70.  This,  however,  was  not  the 
entire  sum  paid  b.y  the  company,  for  the  several  settlements 
in  and  outside  the  courts  of  claims  by  disaffected  landowners 
changed  the  aggregate  considerably.  The  life  and  activities  of 
the  Northern  Railroad,  so  far  as  they  touch  the  interests  of  this 
town,   are  so  interwoven  with  the  daily  life  of  almost  every 


222  History  op  Andover. 

family  that  an  attempt  at  further  historical  description  or 
analysis  would  be  as  unnecessary,  not  to  say  futile,  as  to  elab- 
orate our  daily  experience  with  storm  and  sunshine  or  the  suc- 
cession of  the  days. 

PUBLIC  LIBRARIES. 

The  Andover  Social  Library  was  incorporated  by  act  of  the 
Legislature,  approved  June  22,  1814.  Jonathan  Weare,  Rev. 
Josiah  Badcock  and  Dr.  Silas  Merrill  and  their  associates  were 
named  as  incorporators.  The  following  officers  were  elected: 
Jonathan  Weare,  president;  Robert  Barber,  Samuel  Graves,  di- 
rectors ;  Josiah  Badcock,  librarian. 

By  the  rules  and  regulations  it  was  provided  that  "the  said 
Social  Library  shall  be  kept  alternately  east  and  west,  within 
one  and  one  half  miles  from  the  center  square  in  said  Andover. ' ' 

' '  The  annual  assessment  on  each  share  shall  be  twenty  cents. ' ' 

"The  library  shall  be  open  every  Saturday  during  the  two 
hours  preceding  sunset." 

"Five  volumes  may  be  taken  at  one  time  by  a  shareholder." 

For  every  blot  of  tallow  or  ink,  the  fine  was  fixed  at  ten  cents. 
This  was  in  the  day  of  dipped  candles  and  the  running  and 
spluttering  lights,  dim  at  their  best,  were  the  ready  means  for 
defacing  the  books  of  that  period.  The  drowsy,  nodding  head 
and  the  relaxing  hand  that  held  the  candle  were  the  frequent 
signals  that  roused  the  family  to  save  the  pages  in  the  tired 
farmer's  hands  from  the  unsightly  drop  of  tallow. 

In  1817  the  catalogue  of  books  and  the  names  of  the  share- 
holders were  printed  at  Concord.  At  that  time  there  were 
ninety-two  volumes  in  the  departments  of  theology,  history, 
biography,  philosophy,  geography,  natural  history,  politics, 
poetry,  and  fiction.  For  a  small  collection,  the  selection  was 
fairly  well  made  for  that  epoch.  For  thirty  years  this  library 
was  not  seriously  depleted.  The  remains  of  the  collection  are 
now  scattered  in  various  parts  of  the  town  among  the  descend- 
ants of  the  original  shareholders. 

The  shareholders  in  1817  were:

The  Sewing  Society  Library  was  established  about  1846,  at 
Andover  Centre,  and  a  good  collection  of  books  was  put  in  cir- 
culation. Mrs.  Samuel  Butterfield  was  librarian.  A  few  of 
these  books  finally  found  their  way  into  the  Proctor  Academy 
library. 

The  East  Andover  Social  Library  was  organized  in  1849,  with 
Clark  Durgin  as  librarian.  The  collection  contained  about  200 
volumes,  fairly  well  selected  for  a  country  library.  The  books 
were  finally  scattered  among  the  original  proprietors. 

The  libraries  of  the  various  Sabbath  schools  contain,  in  the 
aggregate,  about  400  volumes  of  the  usual  indifferent  quality. 

THE  TOWN  LIBRARY. 

In  1891  the  Legislature  passed  an  act  creating  a  board  of 
library  commissioners  for  the  state. 

On  application  from  any  town  not  having  a  public  library, 
said  commissioners  were  permitted  to  expend  a  sum  not  exceed- 


224  History  op  Andover. 

ing  $100  toward  the  establishment  of  a  public  or  town  library 
in  said  town.  On  March  8,  1892,  this  town  voted  to  accept  the 
offer  embodied  in  the  act,  and  took  the  steps  necessary  to  secure 
the  benefits  of  a  town  library.  By  the  terms  of  this  act  any 
town  accepting  its  provisions  "shall  annually  appropriate  not 
less  than  $50,  if  its  last  assessed  valuati(m  was  $1,000,000,  or 
upward;  $25  if  the  valuation  was  less  than  $1,000,000,  and  not 
less  than  $250,000,  and  $15  if  the  valuation  was  less  than  $250,- 
000."  The  members  of  the  school  board  were  chosen  as  library 
trustees  and  $100  was  appropriated. 

In  1895  the  Legislature  provided  for  the  support  of  town 
libraries,  that  "The  selectmen  in  each  town  shall  assess  an- 
nuallj"  upon  the  polls  and  ratable  estate  taxable  therein  a  sum 
to  be  computed  at  the  rate  of  thirty  dollars  for  every  dollar  of 
the  public  taxes  apportioned  to  such  town,  and  so  for  a  greater 
or  less  sum."  This  law  assured  a  certain  amount  of  financial 
support  to  each  town  library,  independent  of  the  uncertainties 
of  town  meeting  appropriations. 

For  several  years  the  town  library  was  housed  in  the  lower 
room  of  the  west  wing  of  the  academy,  at  the  Centre,  and  the 
librarian  took  charge  also  of  the  books  belonging  to  the  academy 
library. 

A  branch  library  was  established  at  East  Andover,  according 
to  a  system  providing  for  a  frequent  exchange  of  books,  in  bulk, 
between  the  branch  and  the  main  library. 

In  the  fire  w'hich  destroyed  the  academy  building,  on  Jan- 
uary 13,  1901,  nearly  all  the  books  of  the  town  library  were 
burned. 

This  serious  loss  seemed  to  inspire  the  citizens  throughout  the 
town  with  a  determination  to  have  a  new  library  without  delay. 
Individual  subscriptions  to  that  end  were  soon  received,  and 
small  social  gatherings  were  held  to  help  the  cause. 

The  ladies  from  all  sections  of  the  town  united  in  a  plan  for 
holding  a  bazaar  in  ]\Iay.  1901,  to  raise  money  for  the  purchase 
of  books.  The  affair  was  well  patronized,  not  only  by  present 
and  former  residents  of  the  town,  but  by  natives  of  the  tOAm 
who  had  made  their  homes  elsewhere,  and  the  results  exceeded 
the  expectations  of  the  most  sanguine.  In  all  there  was  ob- 
tained :

neAV  academy  was  completed,  when  they  were  transferred  to  a 
pleasant,  commodious  and  well-finished  room  on  the  second  floor 
of  that  building.  The  new  library  is  a  great  improvement  on 
the  old. 

THE    PROCTOR    ACADEMY   LIBRARY. 

This  library  was  established  by  the  Unitarian  Educational 
Society  in  1889. 

The  nucleus  of  the  library  was  a  few  books  which  had  be- 
longed to  the  school  when  under  the  control  of  the  Christian 
denomination.  Generous  donations  of  books  and  money  were 
obtained  by  ]Mr.  T.  W.  White,  principal  of  the  school,  in  1889- 
'90.  In  1900  there  were  1,480  volumes.  In  the  following  year 
the  most  of  these  were  destroyed  in  the  academy  fire.  There  are 
now  (1904)  617  volumes.  The  use  of  the  library  is  free  to  the 
people  of  the  village  and  vicinity. 

POUNDS. 

The  first  pound  in  town,  for  the  confinement  of  stray  domestic 
animals  or  those  found  trespassing  on  land  not  belonging  to  the 
owners  of  the  stock,  was  built  bj'  vote  of  the  town  on  Taunton 
Hill,  near  and  northeast  of  the  present  residence  of  ex-Gov. 
N.  J.  Bachelder. 

In  1816  a  pound  was  built  by  Henry  D.  Hilton,  for  $25,  be- 
tween the  house  of  Joseph  Ladd,  now  the  Lizzie  Marston  place, 
and  the  house  of  James  Tucker.  Jr.,  now  IMrs.  E.  G.  Emery's 
place,  and  nearly  opposite  the  Avest  district  schoolhouse. 

About  182]  this  pound  was  abandoned  and  a  new  one  built 
in  the  rear  of  the  North  meeting-house.

■-i^t)  IIlSTOKV    OF    AnDOVER. 

At  the  ammal  nit't'tiny  on  Alarcti  8,  l8:il,  it  was  voted  to  build 
a  pound  with  walls  of  stone.  The  location  and  the  dimensions 
of  tlie  jxmnd  were  to  be  fixed  l)y  llie  selectmen,  the  time  for 
l)uilding  not  to  exceed  one  year. 

\'oted  that  Joseph  ('.  'J'hoiiiijson's  hnrii  yard  be  a  iioiind  till  the  iiduikI 
is  huilt  and  that  Mr.  Thompson  be  the  pound  keeper. 

March  l;3,  18:32.  voted  "that  Jonathan  Kimball's  barnyard 
be  a  pound  till  one  is  made." 

There  is  no  record  of  the  action  of  the  selectmen,  bnt  the 
pound  near  the  Pettingill  place  was  built  before  March  10,  1835. 
for  on  that  day  Frank  Pettingill  was  chosen  i)oundkeeper. 

At  ttrst  these  pounds  were  useful  in  protecting  and  restraining 
stock  belonging  to  careless  owners,  but,  if  traditions  are  trust- 
worthy, the  opportunity  to  get  even  with  one's  neighbor  by  im- 
pounding his  stock  in  accordance  with  the  letter  of  the  law,  was 
the  source  of  much  ill-feeling,  frequently  curdling  the  milk  of 
human  kindness  in  a  whole  neighborhood. 

The  poundkeepers  elected  by  the  town  were :

PAUPERS. 

Prolonged  illness,  accidents  and  other  misfortunes,  together 
with  chronic  laziness,  incapacity  and  intemperance,  combined  to 
I)roduee  a  small  class  of  people  in  the  pioneer  commitnities  whose 
individual  existence  depended  upon  the  good-will  of  their  rela- 
tives and  neighbors. 

AVlien  these  failed  the  burden  fell  upon  the  charitable,  but  it 
was  finally  shifted  from  the  individual  to  the  town. 

At  the  close  of  the  eighteenth  century  organized  charity  had 
not  been  developed  in  the  sparsely  settled  New  Hampshire  towns, 
m\d  each  case  w^as  generally  considered  separately  in  the  town 
meetings.     At  first  each  case  in  Andover  was  assumed  to  be  a

town  charge,  and  the  town  hired  some  citizen  to  furnish  food 
and  clothing  to  the  dependent  person  for  a  fixed  period.  This 
was  soon  accepted  as  the  proper  method,  and  the  custodian  and 
the  price  paid  were  generally  determined  by  vendue  at  the 
annual  town  meeting.  It  was  always  stipulated  that  the  per- 
sons taking  charge  of  the  paupers  should  see  that  they  had 
proper  care,  and  if  sick,  good  nursing;  should  furnish  them 
with  reasonably  good  food  and  clothing,  and  that  their  clothing 
should  be  as  good  at  the  end  of  the  period  as  at  the  beginning. 
The  paupers  were  to  do  as  much  worlc  as  they  were  able  to  per- 
form safely. 

The  first  record  of  a  case  settled  at  town  meeting  was  that  of 
Widow  Elkins.  who  was  set  up  ]\Iarch  20,  1797,  and  her  care, 
with  board  and  clothing  was  bid  off  by  Gershom  Durgin  for  the 
first  quarter  of  the  year  at  2s.  6d. ;  for  the  second  quarter  to 
Jacob  Dudley  at  Is.  lid. ;  the  third  quarter  to  Elisha  Cilley  at 
2s.  3d.,  and  for  the  last  quarter  to  Benjamin  Cilley  at  2s.  od. 
per  week.  This  method  of  supporting  and  caring  for  paupers 
was  carried  on  for  a  score  of  years  with  little  variation.  It  was 
soon  found  that  in  a  few  cases  the  labor  of  the  paupers  was 
more  than  an  equivalent  for  their  board  and  care,  and  the  an- 
nual auctions  or  vendues  were  sometimes  held  to  find  the  highest 
bidder  for  the  labor  of  each  dependant.  Food,  clothing,  care 
and  nursing  were  required  as  before;  the  cost  of  medical  attend- 
ance was  defrayed  liy  the  town. 

Among  the  conditions  pertaining  to  the  sale  and  care  of 
paupers  in  1820  were  thi^  following  items : 

Each  person  will  be  struck  off  to  tho  lowest  bi(l<ler  tor  the  term  of 
one  year. 

Any  person  biddius  off  a  pauper  shall  furnish  him  or  her  with  suitable 
meats,  drinks  and  clothing,  nursins;.  if  sick,  and  every  acconnnodation 
which  is  necessary  for  their  supjxirt.  doctors'  Itills  excepted. 

The  following  are  from  the  records  of  the  sale  in  1820: 

Mr.  Frasure  sold  to  Ebenezer  Tilton  at  $1.00  i)er  week. 
Widow  Hannah  Rano  to  Henry  D.  Hilton  at  $0.56  per  week. 
Eliza  Meloon  to  Timothy  Swett  at  $0.35  per  week. 
Samuel  Sleeper  to  Samuel  Cilley  at  $0.90  per  week. 
Widow  H.  Gove  to  .lonathan  Martin  at  $0.10  per  week. 
The  York  child  to  .Joseph  Sevey  at  $0.50  per  week. 


228  History  of  Andover. 

The  inventory  of  the  clothing  of  AViclow  Hannah  Rano  at  that 
time  showed  her  in  possession  of  1  pair  of  shoes,  1  woolen  gown, 
2  black  caml)ric  gowns,  1  gingham  gown,  6  pairs  of  stockings, 
5  caps,  4  handkerchiefs,  5  shifts,  4  petticoats,  2  bonnets,  3  tires, 
2  pairs  gloves,  2  cloaks  and  1  gold  necklace;  also  many  articles 
of  household  furniture. 

In  1820  there  were  nine  paupers,  but  in  1821  the  numljer  had 
increased  to  twenty-two ;  twenty  of  the  latter  number  were  sold 
to  Josiah  Elkins  for  $500  for  the  year. 

At  an  adjourned  meetin<i'  lield  March  14.  1821 : 

Voted  that  Capt.  James  Tucker,  Josiah  Babcock,  Phineas  Huntoon, 
Capt.  Caleb  Marston  and  Joseph  Brown  be  a  committee  to  draft  rules 
and  regulations  for  the  government  of  the  imoi-. 

The  committee  made  the  following  report,  Avhich  was  adopted : 

In  view  of  the  great  increase  of  pauperism  the  people  of  Andover 
have  been  satisfyed  of  the  necessity  of  adopting  some  different  mode 
of  Support  and  some  rules  of  government  and  discipline  to  be  exercised 
towards  paupers  which  shall  serve  immediately  to  correct  the  great  and 
increasing  evil.  Rules  ciilculated  to  punish  Sloth  and  indolence,  correct 
vice  and  immorality,  establish  industry,  teach  economy  and  independ- 
ence, encourage  virtue  and  morality  and  establish  at  the  same  time  the 
means  of  support  on  the  most  just  and  equinomical  principles  so  that 
he  that  will  not  work  may  not  eat : — 

Therefore  we  the  undersigned,  being  appointed  a  committee  by  the 
town  on  this  subject,  humbly  offer  the  following  rules  aud  regulations 
to  be  strictly  observed  not  only  to  those  who  are  now  dependent  on  the 
Town  for  support  and  those  who  may  hereafter  throw  themselves  upon 
the  Town  but  to  all  those  who  live  in  this  Town  of  what  age  soever 
who  live  idly  &  are  poor  &  stand  in  need  of  the  relief  of  the  Town  or 
whose  families  stand  in  need  of  such  relief  from  the  Town : — 

Article  1.  Industry  shall  be  taught  &  enjoined  by  the  overseer  on  all 
who  can  perform  the  most  trifling  Labors.  Every  pauper  shall  have 
their  labour  alloted  by  the  ovei'seers  dayly  accordin  to  the  ability  of 
the  person.  For  every  neglect  of  performing  such  labour  the  overseer 
shall  with  hold  all  sustenance  till  the  delinquent  performs  the  require- 
ment or  satisfy  the  overseer  of  his  disposition  to  do  it. 

Article  2.  No  pauper  shall  absent  him  or  her  self  from  the  service 
and  care  of  the  overseer  without  leave.  For  evei-y  such  offense,  for 
disrespectful  conduct  towards  the  overseer,  for  wanton  mischief  and 
determined  obstinacy,  the  offender  shall  be  abridged  in  privilege  and 
diet  equal  to  the  crime,  ^yhen  such  measures  are  not  affected  ( ?)  and 
the  person  can  not  thus  be  restrained  and  governed  the  overseer  shall 


Paupers.  '229 

call  on  the  selectmen  of  the  Town  who  shall  direct  and  cause  to  be  in- 
flicted punishment  equal  to  the  crime. 

Article  3.  No  pauper  shall  be  allowed  to  live  on  costly  or  luxurious 
food  or  drink,  the  diet  of  the  labouring  and  healthy  shall  be  course, 
wholsom  &  substantial  food.  Those  who  are  feeble  &  unhealthy  shall 
be  furnished  with  food  more  simple  that  is  cheape  and  will  answer  the 
requirements  of  nature.  No  coffee  or  tea  shall  be  allowed  more  than 
once  a  week  excepting  what  is  made  from  domestic  produce.  No 
spirituous  liquors  or  tobacco  shall  be  allowed  unless  life  &  health  abso- 
lutely require  it,  nor  a  greate  quantity  of  cider. 

Article  4.  No  clothing  shall  be  furnished  them  but  that  of  the  plain 
ordinary  kind  which  decency  and  nature  require. 

Article  5.  Particular  attention  shall  be  paid  to  the  sick  and  the 
necessary  requirements  afforded.

Jonathan  AVeare         Robert  Barber    I       by  the  town. 

Although  some  portions  of  the  above  report  are  almost  identi- 
cal with  articles  in  the  report  of  March  14.  1821,  both  reports 
are  given  in  full  in  order  to  indicate  the  persistent  effort  of  the 
town  to  find  the  best  method  of  caring  for  the  unfortunate  poor 
within  its  jurisdiction. 

March  11,  1828.     Sold  sixteen  paupers  to  the  lowest  bidder. 

March  20,  1828.  Sold  paupers'  labor,  including  care  of  the 
people,  at  auction  to  the  lowest  bidder.  Whole  number  sold, 
eleven;  bound  out  three.  ''Set  up  ]\Iehitable  Tilton  and  struck 
off  to  Miles  Cole  at  2  cents  per  w^eek. ' ' 

At  an  adjourned  meeting  on  June  1.  1829,  a  report  of  a  com- 
mittee appointed  March  10,  1829,  on  pauperism  was  read. 

It  was  really  a  partial  essay  on  pauperism  and  its  causes,  but 
it  ended  with  a  recommendation  that  the  selectmen  make  an  ar- 
rangement with  some  suitable  person  to  receive  into  his  house 
all  the  paupers  and  to  constitute  it  a  house  of  correction  for  this 
town. 

The  report  was  accepted. 

The  selectmen  constituted  the  house  of  Daniel  Rowe  on  Boston 
Hill  the  required  house  of  correction  and  appointed  the  said 
Kowe  the  superintending  and  governing  officer  of  said  house. 

They  also  established  the  following  regulations : 

(1)  The  governing  officer  of  said  house  of  correction  shall  furnish  all 
persons  sentenced  to  the  house  of  correction  and  placed  under  his  care 
with  suitable  meats  and  drinks  in  health  and  sickness. 

(2)  The  said  officer  shall  furnish  suitable  and  proper  employment 
to  said  persons  when  in  health  for  the  number  of  hours  in  each  day 
usually  devoted  to  labour  by  industrious  persons. 

(3)  The  said  officer  shall  require  all  persons  committed  to  his  charge 
as  aforesaid  to  perform  their  daily  prescribed  tasks;  and  if  said  persons 
refuse  or  neglect  to  obey  said  officer  or  to  perform  the  proper  task  of 
labour,  he  may  iise  all  lawful  means  to  enforce  his  commands  or  re- 
(piirements  always  beginning  with  admonitions  and  persuations. 

(4)  And  the  same  officer  shall  use  all  reasonable  exertions  to  redeem 
such  persons  from  all  iunnoral  and  idle  habits.

The  above  system  and  regulations  were  in  use  but  a  short  time. 

In  the  latter  part  of  1829  pauperism  and  vagrancy  had  so 
increased  that  many  people  thought  it  wise  for  the  town  to  own 
a  farm  where  paupers  and  other  dependants  could  be  supported 
and  governed  on  its  own  ])remises. 

At  the  annual  meeting  on  ^tlarcli  i).  1830: 

Voted  that  the  town  purchase  a  farm  to  support  the  poor  upon. 

Voted  that  the  Committee  on  pauperism  be  authorized  to  select  said 
farm  and  direct  the  selectmen  to  close  the  bargain. 

Voted  that  the  committee  and  selectmen  be  not  allowed  a  sum  that 
will  exceed  the  fund  of  the  parsimage  money,  which  is  1607  dollars,  to 
purchase  said  farm  to  support  the  poor  upon. 

Voted  that  the  selectmen  and  committee  make  use  of  tlie  parsonage 
fund,  or  a  part  of  it,  to  purchase  said  farm  to  support  the  poor  upon 
and  that  the  towu  be  holdeii  to  the  several  religious  societies  for  the 
interest  of  the  same. 

Voted  that  the  selectmen  select  an  overseer  for  the  poor  house. 

The  following  are  the  condensed  rules  and  regulations  for  the 
conduct  of  the  poor  farm,  which  were  prepared  by  Joseph  C. 
Thompson,  Samuel  Brown  and  Josiah  Babcock.  the  committee  on 
pauperism : 

(1)  The  selectmen  will  appoint  the  overseer  or  warden. 

(2)  The  selectmen  will  collect  all  the  poor  at  the  poor  farm. 

(3)  The  warden  will  instruct  the  inmates  at  the  farm  according  to 
the  best  of  his  judgment. 

(4)  The  warden  will  inflict  punishment  when  necessary.  Solitary 
confinement  may  continue  not  longer  than  forty  eight  hours. 

(5)  The  warden  will  keep  a  careful  record  of  all  transactions  and 
report  expenses  etc.  at  the  annual  town  meeting. 

(6^)  It  is  the  duty  of  all  the  inmates  to  obey  immediately  and  will- 
ingly all  orders  and  directions  of  the  warden. 

(7)  No  assistance  will  be  given  any  person  except  at  the  poor  house, 
unless  imperious  circumstances  shall  render  it  absolutely  necessary. 
'  (8)  The  selectmen  shall  take  all  legal  measures  to  commit  to  the 
poor  house  and  house  of  correction  all  rogues,  vagabonds,  lewd,  idle, 
disorderly  persons,  beggars,  runaways,  stubborn  servants  or  children, 
connnon  drunkards  and  pilferers,  such  as  neglect  their  calling  or  em-

Iiloyment,  niisspcud  what  they  earn  and  do  not  support  tUemselvos  ami 
families. 

(9)  The  seleetmeu  shall  remler  such  aid  and  assistance  to  the  warden 
ill  goveming  the  inmates  as  is  necessary. 

(10)  One  or  more  of  the  selectmen  shall  visit  the  establishment  at 
least  once  in  six  months,  examine  the  warden's  books  and  have  power 
to  grant  such  immunities  and  rewards  for  the  deserving  as  they  see  fit. 

(11)  The  warden  may  command  the  assistance  of  any  or  all  the 
inmates  in  inflicting  punishment  to  any  other  inmate. 

To  refuse  prompt  assistance  makes  the  person  as  liable  to  ])rmishmeut 
as  the  first  offender. 

Ill  1830  the  farm  of  Samuel  Fuller  was  purchased  hy  the  town 
for  $1,500,  and  thereafter  used  as  an  almshouse  or  poor  farm, 
under  the  same  rules  and  reiiuiations  practically  as  given  above. 
Several  propositions  were  made  in  subsequent  town  meetings 
to  increase  the  original  farm  by  the  purchase  of  adjacent  land, 
])ut  the  records  are  not  very  definite. 

After  the   poor  farm  was   occupied   the   following  record   is 

found : 

Set  up  the  doctoring  of  all  the  paupers  in  the  Almshouse  and  struck 
oft"  to  Doctor  Woodman  for  twenty  five  dollars  and  fifty  cents. 

All  the  town  poor  were  cared  for  on  this  farm,  now  owned  by 
George  E.  Eastman,  until  it  was  sold  in  December.  1868,  and 
the  inmates  transferred  to  the  county  farm  at  North  Boscawen. 
Since  that  date  the  poor,  dependent  on  this  town,  have  been 
maintained  generally  at  the  county  farm,  though  occasional  and 
temporary  aid  has  been  furnished  people  at  their  homes. 

TRAMrs. 
The  professional  tramp  of  100  or  even  50  years  ago  differed 
materially  from  the  modern  specimen  of  that  class.  The  earlier 
denizen  of  the  highway  was  seldom  vicious.  A  lack  of  mental, 
physical  and  perhaps  moral  stamina,  mingled  with  a  strong 
dislike  for  continuous  labor,  was  likely  to  separate  some  people 
from  the  positive  life  of  an  ordinary  New  England  home.  Add 
to  these  characteristics  a  genial  and  humorous  manner  and  behold 
your  man  ready  to  cast  his  lot  among  the  quiet,  congenial  lives 
scattered  among  the  farms  along  the  early  roads  of  this  section  of 
the  state.  He  sang  ballads,  told  stories  and  laughed  at  his  own 
and  other  men's  crude  jokes;  in  fact,  he  was  a  cert;iiii  type  of 
king's  jester  turned  loose  into  the  green  paths  of  a  ni'W  country. 


^•"J-l  History  of  Andovek. 

The  inoderii  ru.id  runner,  however,  is  tinotlier  creature  en- 
tirely. He  is  generally  a  lazy,  surly",  vicious  vaf^abond,  whose 
range  of  impudence,  brutality  and  crime  is  limited  only  by  oppor- 
tunity and  the  lowest  form  of  courage.  Instead  of  modestly 
begging  he  impudently  demands,  with  never  a  smile  or  a  song 
for  the  favors  received. 

The  earlier  man  of  the  road  travelled  the  same  route  for  a 
series  of  years,  and  his  periodic  return  could  be  easily  pre- 
dicted by  his  good-natured  patrons.  James  or  "Jim"  Robinson 
tramped  his  route  through  this  town  for  many  years.  Sally 
Keniston  jogged  along  through  the  town  for  many  summers,  beg- 
ging food  and  cider.  One  earlj^  May  morning  she  was  found 
by  the  roadside  too  weak  to  carry  her  load  of  cider,  and  ever 
after  she  was  called  ' '  the  ]\Iayflower. ' ' 

For  about  twenty  years  a  man  named  Jaquith.  generally 
called  "  Jaquish."  strolled  through  the  town  annually,  picking  up 
a  precarious  living  by  various  simple  devices  and  entertainments. 
At  first  he  w^as  accompanied  by  a  heifer  and  a  pig,  but  later, 
owing  to  some  uniLsual  exposure,  he  had  one  foot  frozen,  render- 
ing it  almost  useless,  after  which,  with  that  foot  Avrapped  in  a 
mass  of  rags  he  tramped  his  route  alone  and  generally  with  the 
aid  of  crutches.  The  heifer  and  pig  were  trained  to  perform 
certain  simple  tricks,  while  he  w^as  ready  to  furnish  what  he  con- 
sidered moral  and  religious  entertainment  to  any  group  of  inter- 
ested listeners.     Some  of  his  prices  were  as  follows : 

For  jumping  his  heifer  over  a  pole,  5  cents. 

For  jumping  his  pig  over  a  lower  pole,  2  cents. 

For  praying  he  charged  5  cents. 

For  preaching  a  sermon.  15  cents. 

In  form  and  logical  presentation  the  prayer  and  sermon  Avere 
not  inferior  to  many  heard  in  country  churches.  Exposure  and 
lack  of  ]iroper  nourishment  finally  sapped  a  weak,  but  not  vicious 
life,  wedded  to  the  dust,  flowers  and  freedom  of  the  roadside, 
and  about  1845  there  came  a  springtime  when  the  painfully 
plodding  figure  was  missed  along  his  accustomed  way. 

INIany  less  noted  follow^ers  of  the  road  came  and  went,  but  left 
no  sign  and  no  resentment.  Each  visit  of  the  modern  tramp, 
however,  only  adds  another  grain  to  the  weight  of  that  sentiment 
that  sooner  or  later  will  enforce  the  decree  that  unless  a  man 
work  he  shall  not  eat.

SELECTMEN. 

From  an  early  period  the  local  business  of  the  towns  within 
the  jurisdiction  of  the  Province  of  ^Massachusetts  Bay  was 
transacted  generally  in  open  town  meeting  or  in  the  General 
Court  of  the  province. 

One  part  of  the  process  of  simplifying  the  town  government 
was  the  selection  l)y  popular  vote  in  each  town  of  not  more  than 
seven  men  to  order  the  usual  business  affairs  of  the  town.  In 
1642  these  men  were  called  "seven  men,"  then  "chosen  men," 
"chosen  to^\Tismen,"  "selected  townsmen,"  "townsmen  select." 
and  as  earl.y  as  1648  they  were  called  "selectmen."  The  use  of 
this  title  spread  throughout  ]\Iassachusetts  and  New  Hampshire 
as  fast  as  towns  were  organized.  It  was  first  used  in  the  New 
Breton  records  on  January  30,  1778.  Before  that  date  officers 
charged  with  some  of  the  duties  of  selectmen  were  known  as 
assessors. 

From  the  beginning  of  1770  the  persons  chosen  as  selectmen 
are  given  below. 

FROM  THE  BEGINNING  OF  1779  THE  PERSONS  CHOSEN  AS  SELECTMEN  ARE

POST  ROADS.  POST  OFFICES  AND  POSTMASTERS. 

In  1784  the  road  over  Taunton  Hill  towards  New  Chester  was 
known  as  the  "post  road,"  which  would  indicate  that  the  mail  for 
Andover  and  northern  towns  was  carried  on  that  road. 

In  1790  John  Lathrop  was  post  rider  from  Concord  through 
Andover  to  Hanover. 

*  Under  the  law  providing  for  biennial  elections  the  first  governor,  Natt  Head,  was 
elected  in  November,  1878. 


250  IIlSTOliY   OF    AnDOVER. 

Clement  Emery,  son  of  Dr.  Anthony  Emery,  was  the  second 
mail  carrier  or  post  ritler  through  Andover.  At  that  period  all 
the  mails  were  carried  on  horseback. 

In  1791  four  post  routes  were  established  by  the  New  Hamp- 
shire Legislature.  The  route  leading  through  Andover  was 
known  as  No.  2,  starting  from  Concord  and  going  to  Salisbury, 
Andover,  New  Chester,  Plymouth,  Haverhill,  Piermont,  Orford, 
Lyme,  Hanover,  Lebanon,  Enfield,  Canaan,  Grafton,  Alexandria, 
Salisbury,  to  Concord. 

The  direction  on  this  route  was  reversed  on  alternate  trips. 
The  exact  route  followed  by  the  post  rider  was  by  Capt.  Eben- 
ezer  Webster's,  in  Salisbury,  northwesterly  along  the  north  road 
past  the  Lieut.  John  Rowe,  later  the  Ayers  Rowe.  farm,  over 
Boston  and  Taunton  hills,  through  New  Chester  and  northward. 

Nathan  Dow  retired  from  the  position  of  post  rider,  October 
5,  1799.  He  was  succeeded  by  Daniel  Blaisdell  and  he  by  Sam- 
uel Kimball  of  Andover.  who  retired  in  ^March,  1801. 

When  the  post  route  was  estal)lished  through  Andover  the 
postage  on  single  letters  for  any  distance  less  than  forty  miles 
was  four  pence ;  for  forty  miles  or  more  the  rate  Avas  six  pence. 

The  first  post  oifice  in  town  was  established  at  Andover  Centre, 
May  28,  1810.  West  Bonney  was  the  first  postmaster  and  he 
held  the  office  until  Rev.  Ebenezer  Chase  w^as  appointed  in  1817. 
From  the  organization  of  the  postal  system  the  postage  on  sealed 
letters  was  as  below : 

Single  letter,  under  40  miles,  8  cents ;  between  40  and  90  miles, 
10  cents ;  between  90  and  150  miles,  121/4  cents ;  between  150  and 
300  miles,  17  cents ;  between  300  and  500  miles,  20  cents ;  over  500 
miles,  25  cents. 

After  May  1,  1816,  the  rates  were  changed  as  below : 

Single  letter.  30  miles,  6y^  cents ;  between  30  and  80  miles,  10 
cents;  between  80  and  150  miles,  121/4  cents;  between  150  and 
400  miles,  18%  cents ;  over  400  miles.  25  cents. 

On  newspapers  for  not  over  100  miles,  or  in  the  state  where 
published,  one  cent  each:  for  over  100  miles.  l^U  cents  each. 

In  1845  letters  not  exceeding  one  half  ounce  in  weight,  for  less 
than  300  miles,  5  cents  each :  for  more  than  300  miles,  10  cents 
each,  and  an  additional  rate  for  every  additional  one-half  ounce 
or  fraction  thereof.

building  nearly  on  the  site  of  ^Ir.  Cochran's  hardware  shop  in 
1900.     This  building  was  torn  down  about  1870. 

In  1818  and  1819  Peter  Fifield  was  postmaster  and  the  office 
was  in  his  house,  the  residence  now  o\vTied  by  Mrs.  Mary  E.  Fi- 
field. In  1820  Mr.  Chase  was  again  appointed  postmaster  and 
retained  the  office  till  1823.  In  1823  his  salary  was  $20.52.  On 
November  20,  1819,  Postmaster  Chase  printed  the  following  no- 
tice in  his  monthly  magazine,  published  at  Andover: 

If  people  who  receive  letters  at  the  Post  Office  would  pay  for  them 
at  the  time  they  receive  them  they  would  uuich  oblige  their  friend. 
Considerable  is  now  due  for  letters  that  were  received  at  this  office 
more  than  3  years  ago  and  it  is  found  that  some  gentlemen  have  for- 
gotten that  they  have  been  favored  with  a  letter  on  credit.  Should  any 
letters  here  after  be  charged: — if  it  Is  not  paid  within  3  months  one 
cent  a  month  in  addition  to  the  postage  will  be  requested  on  each  letter 
for  every  month's  neglect. 

E.  Chase.  P.  M. 

Dr.  Tilton  Elkius  was  postmaster  from  1824  to  1828  and  the 
office  was  moved  to  West  Andover. 

In  1829  Reuben  Dearborn  was  postmaster  and  the  office  was 
moved  to  Dearborn  Tavern,  where  the  road  across  the  Plains 
joined  the  Fourth  New  Hampshire  Turnpike,  just  east  of  the 
present  residence  of  Nathan  Woodbury.  In  1830,  Samuel  But-

was  established  at  East  Andover,  January  26,  1847. 

Before  that  date  they  were  dependent  upon  the  offices  at  An- 
dover Centre  and  Salisbury  village,  afterwards  Franklin,  five 
or  six  miles  away.

dover.

TRAINING  DAYS   AND   MUSTERS. 

Early  in  the  history  of  the  militia  in  Andover  the  "training- 
field"  for  those  living  near  the  center  of  the  town  was  the  nearly 
level  ground  lying  south  of  the  present  residence  of  Frank  Pet- 
tingill  and  between  the  highway  and  the  railroad.  Later  the 
parade  ground  Avas  on  the  village  common,  east  of  the  present 
academy  at  the  Centre. 

Occasionally  the  annual  muster  of  the  Twenty-first  Regiment 
occurred  at  the  Centre  village,  and  then  the  large  field  west  of 
the  street  from  Emerson's  store  to  the  railroad  station  was  used. 
The  houses  now  on  that  street  were  built  since  the  day  of  musters. 

The  training  days  for  the  various  companies  were  in  May  and 
September  of  each  year,  the  one  in  September  coming  before  the 
annual  September  muster,  enabling  the  officers  and  men  to 
brush  up  their  tactics  and  drill  for  the  regimental  show.  Mus- 
ter day  was  the  grand  gala  occasion  of  the  year.  The  showy 
field  and  staff  officers  with  cocked  hats,  gold  or  gilt  lace  and  but- 
tons, jingling  arms  and  trappings  and  gaily  prancing  horses  were 
a  gorgeous  sight  to  both  old  and  young,  who  were  accustomed  to 
the  quiet  life  of  the  country. 

The  various  companies  representing  the  neighboring  towns, 
stimulated  by  the  presence  of  their  friends  and  by  the  keen 
rivalries  in  military  drill  and  personal  prowess,  put  forth  their 
best  efforts  to  shine  conspicuously  in  the  eyes  of  superior  officers 
and  enthusiastic  spectators. 

Booths,  tents,  open  and  covered  wagons.  Avith  their  sometimes 
boisterous  occupants,  afforded  entertainments,  bargains,  food 
and  drink  to  the  fun-loving,  curious,  hungry  and  thirsty  sight- 
seers, with  a  fullness  equalled  only  by  the  demand. 

Happy  the  country  boy  who  took  in  his  first  muster  without 
accident  and  stored  a  fund  of  amusement  and  food  for  reflec- 
tion, enough  to  supply  him  for  a  whole  year.

Light  Infantry  or  Second  Company.  Twenty-first  Regiment,  from 
the  first  claimed  great  credit  for  their  accomplishments  in  the 
school  of  the  soldier.  Ont  of  this  claim  and  a  lively  sense  of 
their  personal  prowess,  there  arose  a  sharp  rivalry  with  the  Bos- 
cawen  Rifle  Company,  and  to  a  less  extent  with  the  Salisbury 
Grenadiers,  which  lasted  and  increased  for  severajl  years. 

When  they  managed  to  get  on  opposite  sides  in  the  sham  fight, 
which  usually  closed  the  programme  of  each  muster  day  the 
rivalry  was  highly  intensified. 

The  following  story,  confirmed  in  the  presence  of  the  writer 
by  a  member  of  the  Boscawen  company,  will  best  illustrate  the 
humor  and  zeal  of  that  period,  1825--'35. 

On  one  occasion  w^hen  the  annual  muster  was  to  be  held  at 
Andover,  the  rifle  company  conceived  a  plan  for  getting  the 
better  of  the  light  infantry,  which  would  have  been  better  char- 
acterized as  heavy  infantry. 

Their  scheme  was  devised  to  drive,  with  the  assistance  of  the 
grenadiers,  the  light  infantry  over  and  down  the  bank  at  the 
south  side  of  the  muster  field,  on  to  the  intervale,  and  there  com- 
pel their  surrender  or  rush  them  into  the  river. 

The  Andover  men  received  a  hint  of  the  scheme  and  quietly 
made  their  own  plans.  When  the  sham  fight  began  the  rifles 
and  grenadiers  worked  around  to  the  front  of  the  light  infantry, 
and  pressed  them  back  towards  the  river.  The  rear  guard  held 
them  back  as  well  as  they  could,  and  with  display  of  great  vigor, 
while  the  large  majority  of  the  Andover  men  fell  back  to  the 
river,  at  a  point  about  125  yards  above  the  Seavey  bridge,  and 
crossed  on  planks  supported  on  temporary  trestles.  Then  the 
guard  broke  for  the  river  and  crossed  in  single  file  with  an 
alacrity  that  surprised  their  opponents.  The  southern  section 
of  the  planks  was  wide  enough  for  two  men  to  stand  abreast. 
The  two  largest  men  of  the  infantry  company.  Versal  R.  East- 
man and  James  Marston,  the  last  to  cross,  wheeled  and  standing 
side  by  side  kept  an  almost  continuous  blaze  of  powder  from 
their  guns  along  the  line  of  planks,  so  that  no  one  could  cross. 
Their  guns  w^ere  loaded  and  passed  along  to  them  Ity  their  com- 
rades in  the  rear. 

In  the  midst  of  this  noise  and  turmoil,  and  \vhil(>  the  attention 
of  their  opponents  was  centered  on  the  temporary  bridge,  the

mass  of  the  light  infantry  were  led  down  the  river,  crossed  the 
highway  bridge  and  fell  with  their  whole  weight  on  the  more 
numerous  rifles  and  grenadiers  clustered  on  the  river  banii. 
Many  of  the  would-be  captors  were  rushed  into  the  river  and 
the  remainder  scattered  in  all  directions. 

The  member  of  the  Boscawen  company  mentioned  above 
added:  "There  were  ten  men  on  the  right  of  that  Andover 
company  more  than  six  feet  tall,  and  we  could  do  nothing  with 
them;  they  would  run  over  as  whenever  they  pleased."

MILLS. 

On  the  plan  of  the  town  made  by  William  Brown  Clough, 
from  the  minutes  of  his  survey  of  the  township  in  1753,  there  ap- 
pears a  "mill  lot"  of  twenty  acres  set  off  from  the  south  end  of 
lot  No  53  at  the  region  now  called  "Hog  Back"  hill. 

At  first  it  seems  strange  that  a  site  with  so  slight  a  fall  of 
water  should  have  been  selected  for  the  first  mill  in  the  town ; 
but  it  should  be  remembered  that  at  that  time  it  was  customary 
to  use  "undershot"  instead  of  "overshot"  water  wheels,  rely- 
ing on  the  impulse  of  the  running  stream  rather  than  on  the 
weight  of  the  falling  mass  of  water.  In  this  way  an  expensive 
dam  was  avoided.  Ebenezer  Eastman  built  the  first  mill  on  the 
Pemigewasset  River  at  that  time  in  Salisbury,  now  in  Franklin, 
and  evidently  used  an  "undershot"  wheel.  The  mill  was  on 
the  west  side  of  the  river  and  when  the  fine  modern  dam  was 
built  in  1902-'03,  traces  of  Eastman's  low  wing  dam,  and  a  well- 
presen-ed  "raceway"  were  plainly  seen. 

The  proprietors  were  not  thoroughly  satisfied,  evidently,  with 
the  selection  of  the  "mill  lot,"  for  by  individual  effort  and  by 
committees  they  kept  up  the  search  for  a  mill  site  for  a  dozen 
years  at  least. 

Finalty,  on  April  30,  1766,  an  agreement  was  made  with  Na- 
thaniel Prescott  of  Brentwood  for  the  erection  of  a  sawmill  on 
the  outlet  of  Loon  Pond,  very  near  the  point  where  the  Bnsiel 
hosiery  mill  now  stands. 

The  price  for  construction  was  forty  pounds,  lawful  money, 
and  for  that  sum  Prescott  agreed  to  complete  the  mill  by  the 
1st  of  October,  1766.  and  to  "truly  keep  said  mill  in  good  repair 
and  seasonably  saw  any  Logs  which  any  of  the  Proprietors  of 
said  New  Britton  shall  carry  to  said  mill  to  the  halves  for  and 
during  the  space  of  ten  years  next  after  said  mill  sliall  be  built," 
etc. 

A  bond  in  the  sum  of  "Two  hundred  Pounds  Lawful  money" 


204  History  of  Andover. 

was  5?! veil  by  Prescott  to  ensure  tlie  rulfillinent  of  the  contract. 
The  mill  was  built  according  to  agreement.  The  large  crank 
was  forged  at  Exeter  and  brought  into  the  woods  on  the  back 
of  a  horse. 

In  1772  great  complaint  was  made  that  Prescott  neglected  to 
saw  the  logs  brought  to  the  mill,  as  he  had  agreed  to  do.  The 
proprietors  at  first  proposed  to  prosecute  him,  because  his  neg- 
lect had  retarded  the  settlement  of  the  township,  but  their  trans- 
actions with  him  became  so  complicated  that  nothing  was  done 
in  that  direction. 

In  1768  the  proprietors  decided  to  build  a  grist  mill  if  a  suit- 
able site  could  be  found.  They  tried  to  arrange  with  Prescott  to 
move  the  sawmill  further  up  the  stream  in  order  to  occupy  the 
first  site  of  the  sawmill  with  the  grist-mill,  but  a  committee  ap- 
pointed for  that  purpose  reported  that  "said  Prescott  refused 
to  act  anything  thereto."  A  committee  was  appointed  to  search 
the  town  for  a  site  for  the  grist-mill  and  to  build  thereon.  Sixty 
pounds  lawful  money  was  appropriated  for  the  construction  of  a 
grist-mill  and  on  October  30,  1769,  Dr.  Anthony  Emery  was  en- 
gaged to  build  it.  In  the  meantime  Prescott  had  "acted 
thereto"  and  moved  the  sawmill  up  the  stream  to  the  upper 
falls,  where  the  upper  hosiery  mill  stood.  Before  the  grist-mill 
was  built  at  East  Andover,  Joseph  Fellows  and  his  neighbors 
carried  their  grain  on  their  backs  to  the  mill  of  Henry  Lovejoy 
in  West  Concord.  They  generally  started  in  the  evening,  in  or- 
der to  be  the  first  at  the  mill  in  the  morning,  get  their  grists 
ground  and  get  home  before  night.  The  gristmill  was  built  on 
the  site  of  the  first  sawmill  in  the  summer  of  1770,  under  the  di- 
rection of  Dr.  Anthony  Emery  at  a  total  cost  of  sixty-three 
pounds.  The  proprietors  agreed  to  pay  Prescott  "7  pounds  old 
Tenor"  for  the  privilege  of  drawing  water  to  run  the  grist 
mill  for  the  term  of  twenty  years.  On  February  22,  1774,  the 
proprietors  voted  to  sell  the  gristmill  to  Joseph  Fellows  for 
thirty-five  pounds  lawful  money,  and  the  deed  was  signed  by 
Mesheck  Weare,  Anthony  Emery  and  Henry  Robie  on  behalf  of 
the  proprietors. 

All  the  changes  of  ownership  of  the  sa^nnill  and  grist-mill  can- 
not now  be  traced.

still  in  existence  and  serves  as  a  well  cover  on  the  E.  C.  Chase 
(Caleb  Cross)  farm. 

John  Roberts  owned  and  operated  the  sawmill  in  1781.  Sam- 
uel Blake  owned  one  half  of  the  sawmill  in  1784  and  Jonathan 
Weare  owned  the  other  half  of  the  sawmill  and  all  of  the  grist- 
mill. Chandler  Cass  owned  the  mills  in  1818.  Robert  Barber 
and  Joseph  Noyes  operated  the  sawmill  after  Mr.  Cass.  Bar- 
stow  and  Dyer  occupied  both  saw  and  grist-mills,  in  part,  in 
1823.  In  1831  Joseph  Noyes  owned  both  mills  and  David  Dyer 
operated  them.  In  1833  Benjamin  Shaw,  of  Shaw's  Corner, 
Franklin,  bought  the  grist-mill  of  Mr.  Philbrick.  and  soon  be- 
gan to  increase  the  business  of  the  mill.  He  was  the  first  man 
to  bring  the  southern,  "horse  tooth,"  variety  of  corn  into  town. 
He  bought  it  in  Boston  in  1834.  freighted  it  by  boat  to  Concord 
and  thence  by  horse  teams  to  his  mill,  where  it  was  ground  for 
his  customers.     Nathaniel  Fellows  was  the  miller  at  that  time. 

In  1842  Mr.  Shaw  entirely  rebuilt  the  grist-mill,  with  many 
improvements,  including  a  set  of  burr  stones  bought  at  the 
Charlestown  (Mass.)  prison,  brought  by  water  to  Concord  and 
thence  by  team  to  the  mill.  He  also  owned  and  rebuilt  the  saw- 
mill in  1834.  The  work  and  material  cost  $2,600,  and  he  after- 
wards rented  it  to  Caleb  ]\Ierrill,  Elkanah  Bean  and  Reuel  Long 
for  five  years  at  the  rate  of  $500  per  year. 

When  the  lease  expired  he  bought  the  Deacon  Severance  lum- 
ber lot  near  the  Boston  Hill  schoolhouse  and  sawed  the  logs  at 
his  mill.  He  owned  both  mills  until  his  death,  December  17, 
1846.  Wm.  Otis,  Addison  Tuttle,  William  IMarston  and  H.  D. 
Cilley  and  Joseph  Osgood  were  subsequent  proprietors  of  the 
sawmill. 

With  the  construction  of  both  grist  and  sawmills  at  West  Salis- 
bury, with  far  greater  water  power,  the  patronage  of  the  East 
Andover  mills  became  wholly  local  and  they  soon  became  un- 
profitable. 

BONNEY'S  MILLS. 

West  Bonney  built  a  mill  about  1800  at  West  Andover,  on 
the  stream  flowing  from  Eagle  Pond  and  a  short  distance  above 
the  present  Harriman  bridge.  A  sawmill  was  first  built  and  a 
carding'  mill  was  afterwards  added  on  the  southwest  side  of  the 


266  History  of  Andover, 

river.  The  latter  was  carried  away  by  a  freshet  about  18o0. 
Nathaniel  G.  Haines  owned  the  saw  and  grist-mills  and  clothing 
mill  in  1818  and  tlic  clothing  mill  on  the  northeast  side  of  the 
river  in  1826. 

Winthrop  Fifield  owned  a  mill  near  (probably  below)  Bon- 
ney's  mill  soon  after  1800.  The  mill  was  occupied  as  a  clothing 
mill  l)y  Sumner  and  Favor  and  while  in  their  hands  was  carried 
away  by  a  freshet,  August  28,  1826. 

CILLEY'S  MILLS. 

Aaron  Cilley  built  the  first  dam  across  the  river  at  Cilleys- 
ville  about  1785  and  the  mill  privilege  remained  in  the  name  of 
his  descendants  until  sold  to  John  Proctor  in  1866.  From  a 
small  beginning  it  gradually  increased  until  it  became  the  most 
complete  and  important  set  of  mills  in  town.  A  sawmill  has  ex- 
isted there  for  nearly  125  years  and  a  grist-mill  for  nearly  a 
century,  -while  the  generally  good  water  power  has  sufficed  for 
other  prosperous  industries. 

Mr.  Cilley  settled  on  one  of  the  "amendments"  or  common- 
lands,  as  they  were  called,  and  in  1789  desired  a  deed  from  the 
town  for  the  place  on  which  he  had  settled.  In  1790  the  town 
voted  not  to  give  the  deed.  So  far,  no  record  has  been  found 
of  any  later  action  on  his  request. 

A  shingle  and  clapboard  mill,  planing  mill,  lath  machine  and 
other  usual  accessories  have  been  connected  with  the  saAMiiill. 
A  bobbin  shop,  wheehvright  shop,  an  establishment  for  making 
wrapping  paper  and  a  fishing-rod  factory  have  also  derived  their 
motive  power  from  this  mill  privilege.  The  paper  mill  was 
started  by  Capt.  William  Gordon  in  1871  and  existed  for  a  few 
years  only. 

Gilman  Lang,  a  skillful  maker  of  edge  tools,  came  from  Graf- 
ton to  Cilleyville  about  1865  and  began  the  manufacture  of  axes. 
He  moved  from  Andover  to  southern  Iowa. 

Capt.  Samuel  Elkius  built  the  first  sawmill  on  the  outlet  of 
Bradley  Pond ;  the  dam  being  practically  on  the  site  of  the  dam 
at  the  present  hame  shop.  This  mill  and  site  has  had  many  own- 
ers and  has  been  put  to  many  uses.  Captain  Elkins  came  to  An- 
dover from  Salisbury,  where  he  built  the  first  mill  on  the  site 
of  Prince's  mill,  about  1793.  and  settled  on  Beech  Hill.     The  mill 


Mills,  Manufactures  and  Insurance.  267 

was  probably  built  about  1800,  and  used  simply  as  a  sawmill 
for  several  years. 

Jacob  Eastman,  who  lived  where  W.  F.  York  now  lives,  oper- 
ated a  carding  and  clothing  mill  with  this  water  power  in  1825. 
Bracket  Clark  ran  the  carding  and  clothing  mill  after  Eastman 's 
death  in  1826.  After  Clark  went  to  Franklin,  John  Ellis,  son 
of  Lawrence  Ellis  at  East  Andover,  took  the  property  and  ran 
it  as  a  sawmill  and  shingle-mill.  After  Ellis  retired  the  mill  was 
managed  by  Horace  T.  Field,  who  devoted  his  time  chiefly  to  de- 
vising improvements  that  were  not  financially  successful ;  and  by 
several  other  men  who  controlled  it  in  the  interest  of  special  lum- 
bering operations  for  short  periods.  After  it  came  into  the  pos- 
session of  John  Proctor  it  was  actively  employed  for  several 
years  and  then  with  all  its  privileges  was  transferred  to  the 
Hame  Company,  that  has  now  become  the  most  important  busi- 
ness enterprise  of  the  town. 

The  mill  on  Mountain  Brook,  on  the  road  from  Cilleyville 
toward  Kearsarge  Mountain,  was  built  before  1827  by  Bachelder, 
Seavey  and  Sleeper.  For  lack  of  a  steady  supply  of  water  it  was 
never  a  very  successful  business  enterprise  and  was  finally 
abandoned. 

A  little  later  than  1800,  one  account  gives  it  as  1820,  Jonathan 
Roberts  built  a  grist-mill,  with  one  "run  of  stone,"  on  the  brook 
forming  the  inlet  of  Elbow  Pond  and  north  of  the  present  high- 
way. This  mill  was  a  few  rods  al)ove  the  sawmills  afterwards 
built  by  Capt.  Samuel  Morrill.  Captain  ]Morrill  changed  the 
grist-mill  to  a  shingle-mill,  but  after  a  few  years  it  was  disman- 
tled. 

About  1814  a  sawmill  was  l.)uilt  near  the  site  of  the  above  grist- 
mill by  Isaac  Brown. 

One  of  the  first  shingle  mills  in  town  was  built  on  Roberts' 
Brook,  now  known  as  Middle  Brook. 

The  Graves  sawmill  on  ]\Iill  Brook,  near  the  Graves  Meadow, 
was  built  by  Capt.  William  Graves  in  1887.  The  grain  thrcsli- 
ing  machine  was  connected  with  the  mill  l)y  j\Ir.  Graves  about 
1860,  and  a  cider  mill  was  added  al)out  1864.  This  mill  was 
bought  of  Henry  Colby  in  1874  by  John  D.  Aiken,  and  is  now 
used  as  a  sawmill  and  shingle-mill  and  also  for  threshing  grain 
and  making  cider. 


2(>8  History  of  Andoveh. 

A  savvuiill  was  built  at  the  Tails  on  Tiltou  Brook  by  David 
Dyer  and  Parker  Scribner.  Mr.  Dyer  also  set  up  a  carding  mill 
at  the  same  place.  Afterwards,  in  1818,  Nathan  Leeds,  senior, 
bnilt  a  two-story  mill  on  Tilton  Brook,  where  he  manufactured 
chairs,  bedsteads,  etc.,  foi-  many  years.  Leeds  and  Josiah  Bad- 
cock  set  up  a  clapboard  mill  at  the  same  |)lace.  which  was  oper- 
ated by  Mr.  Leeds. 

The  fir.st  dam  on  J\lill  Brook  at  the  small  falls  next  below  the 
Bnsiel  hosiery  factory  was  built  for  the  use  of  a  carding  and 
clothing  mill.  The  mill  was  built  and  operated  1)\'  Mr.  Sawyer. 
John  Brown  was  the  proprietor  of  the  shingle-mill  which  suc- 
ceeded the  carding  mill.  This  mill  was  afterwards  owned  by  sev- 
eral persons,  and  at  one  time  was  used  by  Willard  Emery  and 
John  S.  Pillsbury  as  a  shingle  mill,  a  clapboard  mill  and  plow 
factory. 

In  accordance  with  some  legal  requirement,  the  following  mills 
reported  their  net  income  for  the  year  1811,  as  given  below: 

Bonney's  mills  at  "West  Andover,  $30.00. 

Cilley  's  saw  and  grist  mills  at  Cilleyville,  $36.00. 

Roberts'  saw  and  grist  mills  at  East  Andover,  $100.00. 

The  first  mill  on  the  east  side  of  "Hog  Back"  was  a  sawmill 
erected  by  Joseph  Fellows,  the  first  settler,  and  his  sons.  John 
and  Ebenezer.  The  mill  stood  about  ten  years  and  was  set  on 
fire  accidentally  and  burned  liy  fishermen  who  were  spearing 
"^suckers"  by  torchlight. 

Isaac  and  Joseph,  sons  of  Joseph  Brown,  built  a  small  grist- 
mill about  twenty  rods  below  the  site  of  the  sawmill.  This  busi- 
ness did  not  prove  profitable  and  after  several  years  the  mill  was 
taken  down.  Enoch  Brown  was  for  a  few  years  the  miller  at 
this  mill.  He  lived  on  Healey  Hill,  where  Jacob  Weare  so  long 
resided. 

John  Merrill  built  a  shingle  mill  on  the  brook  near  Luther 
Sawyer's  on  "the  plains"  in  1833. 

A  sawmill,  built  by  a  company  (Ephraim  Sanborn  and  oth- 
ers) before  1800  stood  on  the  "mill  brook"  a  few  rods  above  the 
Dyer  bridge.     Traces  of  the  stone  dam  are  still  to  be  seen. 

The  first  carding,  dyeing  and  fulling  mill  at  the  East  Andover 
mills  was  destroyed  by  fire.  Robert  Barber  built  the  second  mill 
and  it  is  supposed  that  he  also  built  the  first  one.  He  owned  the 
mill  in  1817-'18. 


]\riLLs,  ^Manufactures  axd  Ixsuraxce.  269 

Jeremy  Y.  and  John  Bryant  were  proprietors  of  the  fulling 
mill  at  East  Andover  in  1823  and  owned  half  of  the  sawmill  with 
Robert  Barber  and  David  Dyer,  who  at  that  time  owned  the  grist- 
mill. 

A  lampblack  factory  was  started  by  Mr.  Staples  in  1800  on 
"the  plains"  west  of  the  brook  and  west  of  William  Morrill's 
place.     It  continued  but  a  few  years. 

HOSIERY. 

About  1865  William  S.  Marston  built  over  the  sawmill  at  East 
Andover,  fitting  the  new  two-story  structure  for  a  hosiery  mill 
and  rented  it  to  Mr.  Townsend  of  Lowell,  ]\Iass.,  w^ho  operated 
it  about  a  year.  It  was  then  sold  to  Mr.  Thomas  Appleton,  who 
ran  it  as  the  Highland  Lake  Mill  till  the  autumn  of  1872.  On 
the  departure  of  ^Nlr.  Appleton  the  mill  came  into  Mr.  Marston 's 
possession  again  for  about  one  year,  when  it  was  sold  to  Shepard 
and  Messer  of  New  London.  They  maintaind  the  business  for 
three  or  four  years,  after  which  the  mill  was  idle  for  nearly  two 
years.  It  was  then  rented,  in  1879.  to  Colvin  and  Hood  of  Lake- 
port  for  the  manufacture  of  underwear.  This  firm  dissolved  and 
the  business  was  continued  as  a  yarn  and  stocking  mill  by  R.  N. 
Colvin.  It  then  passed  into  the  hands  of  Mr.  John  Murphy,  who 
sold  it  to  IMellen  and  Phelps.  After  about  one  year  it  was 
owned  by  Mellen  and  Quimby.  Mr.  Harrison  ]\I.  Busiel,  who  had 
been  a  manufacturer  of  hosiery  in  Franklin  as  early  as  1854, 
came  to  East  Andover  in  1865  and  established  a  hosiery  factory 
on  the  site  of  the  first  grist-mill,  where  he  has  continued  the 
business  to  the  present  time,  1907. 

TANNERIES. 

Israel  jNIarston  owned  and  operated  a  tannery  at  East  An- 
dover and  Enoch  ]Merrill  succeeded  him  in  the  business  at  the 
same  place. 

Benjamin  F.  Tucker  carried  on  the  business  on  what  is  now 
known  as  the  Samuel  Morrill  place.  The  business  was  started 
by  his  father,  Capt.  James  Tucker,  about  1800.  He  lived  on 
that  farm,  where  his  tan  yard,  barl<  mill  and  finishing  shop  were 
a  few  rods  east  of  the  house.  His  tan-pits  were  located  on  the 
road  leading  from  C.  Campbell's  towards  F.  H.  Flanders'  on 
land  now  owned  l)v  W.  H.  and  A.  H.  Kilburn.     On  the  deatli  of

Mr.  Tucker  in  IS'M).  Iiis  father  carried  on  the  business  for  a  few 
years.  Enoch  Seavey  operated  the  tannery  as  late  as  1846  or 
1850,  when  the  business  was  discontinued. 

The  stone  wheel  used  in  the  Tucker  tannery  to  crush  the  bark 
is  now  used  as  a  cover  to  the  well  on  the  Shirley  place,  east  of 
the  Centre  village.  The  pump  passes  down  through  the  shaft 
hole  in  the  stone. 

POTASH. 

The  making  of  potash  and  pearlash  was  carried  on  by  Benja- 
min Thompson  near  the  river  and  nearly  opposite  the  house  now- 
owned  by  John  Sanborn  east  of  Potter  Place.  The  business  was 
established  about  1800  and  continued  about  twenty  years.  Jo- 
seph Webster  of  Springfield  was  the  skilled  employe  of  Mr. 
Thompson.  About  forty  large  iron  potash  kettles  were  used  and 
the  last  one  of  the  collection  was  used  by  Herod  Thompson  for 
many  years  as  a  watering  trough  for  his  stock. 

Potash  was  made  at  one  time  at  a  point  a  few  rods  northeast 
of  the  residence  of  the  late  Caleb  Cross  at  East  Andover. 

For  several  years  potash  was  made  in  a  building  standing  be- 
side the  brook,  a  few  feet  east  of  the  residence  of  Carlos  Pevare 
in  the  village  of  East  Andover. 

Enoch  Merrill  and  Benjamin  ]\I.  T.vler  erected  a  building  for 
the  manufacture  of  potash,  a  few  rods  north  of  the  house  of 
James  Parker  in  East  Andover  village.  The  business  was  suc- 
cessful for  many  years. 

A  potash  factory  owned  and  operated  by  Josiah  Badcock,  Jr., 
was  located  nearly  east  of  the  present  residence  of  Charles  W. 
Stone  on  Taunton  Hill. 

BRICKMAKING. 

Briclvs  were  made  by  a  Mr.  Blake  at  an  early  period  at  a  place 
on  Connor's  Hill,  on  land  now  o^vned  by  George  H.  Haley. 

They  were  made  quite  early  at  a  place  on  Nathaniel  Fellow's 
farm  near  Dyer's  crossing. 

The  material  near  the  latter  place  was  used  again  about  1830. 
Joseph  Ladd,  Sr..  started  a  brick  yard  on  the  farm  now  o^vned 
by  Geo.  E.  Eastman,  and  his  neighbors  were  allowed  to  use  his 
plant  to  make  brick  for  themselves.  About  1830  bricks  were 
made  on  the  land  now  owned  by  W.  D.  Tuttle  at  Bennett's  cross- 
ing.

Nehemiah  Emerson  opened  a  brick  yard  near  the  old  grist- 
mill at  East  Andover  in  1841  or  '42. 

MISCELLANEOUS  MANUFACTURES. 

Elijah  Hilton  manufactured  nails  with  a  machine  invented  by 
Caleb  Leach  of  Plymouth.  ]\Iass.  With  this  machine  a  boy  could 
cut  and  head  about  5.000  nails  per  day. 

Nail-making  in  this  town  declined  soon  after  the  Perkins  nail 
machine  came  into  use  for  making  cut  nails.  Very  few  wrought 
nails  were  used  after  1830. 

About  1850  Stephen  Scales  built  a  small  machine  shop,  using 
the  water  of  the  Keniston  brook  for  power.  Scales  lived  in  the 
house  east  of  Vivian  Quimby's  present  residence.  The  machin- 
ery was  used  principally  in  boring  gun  barrels.  Scales  was  an 
ingenious  mechanic,  a  skilful  gunsmith  and  had  much  practice 
in  repairing  clocks  and  watches. 

Enoch  Eastman,  and  afterwards  his  nephew.  Versal  R.  East- 
man, were  noted  makers  of  spinning  wheels,  both  "linen"  and 
"woolen."  The  wheelwright  shop  of  Versal  R.  Eastman  is  now 
owned  by  John  Buswell  on  Beech  Hill.  There  are  some  of  the 
Eastman  "Linen"  and  "Woolen"  wheels  still  in  existence. 

John  Rowell  of  East  Andover  was  also  a  maker  of  spinning 
wheels.  Capt.  Moses  Gove,  who  lived  on  the  "Back"  or 
"North"  Road,  was  a  noted  maker  of  churns,  which  in  those 
days  were  made  of  straight  staves,  the  bottom  diameter  the 
larger,  and  bound  with  wooden  hoops.  It  is  said  that  Captain 
Gove  moved  to  Canterbury  and  died  there. 

Dea.  Sylvanus  Atwood  carried  on  the  business  of  a  wheel- 
wright at  West  Andover  for  a  few  years  after  1835,  and  then 
moved  to  the  Centre  and  occupied  a  shop  that  stood  about  half 
way  between  the  present  sites  of  Rollins'  and  Emerson's  stores. 

Edwin  IMoody  established  a  cabinet-shop  at  the  Centre  in  1832 
and  continued  the  business  as  sole  owner  till  1841.  After  that 
time  he  was  associated  with  Samuel  ^Morrill  for  two  or  three 
years,  working  at  several  kinds  of  machinery  which  tho\-  had 
devised.  From  1832  to  1841,  Mr.  :\roody  conducted  a  large  busi- 
ness for  a  country  to^ra,  supplying  many  of  the  people  with 
complete  sets  of  house  furniture.  He  employed  several  journey- 
men and  apprentices,  many  of  the  latter  becoming  competent

occupied  (liXKi)  by  Millai'd  F.  Thompson  as  a  residence. 

THE  HAME  FACTORY. 

The  most  important  manufaeturinj^'  business  ever  established 
in  town  is  that  for  making  harness  hames.  This  business  was 
started  at  Enfield  Centre,  N.  H.,  in  1860  by  Joseph  Baker  and 
Robert  C.  Carr.  John  P.  Carr  of  Enfield  soon  became  associ- 
ated in  the  enterprise.  In  1863  the  company  transferred  its 
business  to  Andover,  occupying  the  site  and  water  power,  on  the 
outlet  of  Bradley  Pond,  where  Capt.  Samuel  Elkins  built  the 
first  sawmill  in  that  section  of  the  town,  soon  after  1790.  In 
1869  W.  S.  Carr  became  an  owner  of  a  portion  of  the  business 
and  in  1877  was  one  of  the  principal  members  of  the  firm.  In 
1883  C.  E.  Carr  became  an  owTier  in  the  business.  R.  C.  Carr 
left  the  firm  in  1877  and  soon  after  1883,  Mr.  Baker  sold  his  in- 
terest. After  the  death  of  John  P.  Carr.  in  1888,  the  business 
was  owned  by  W.  S.  and  C.  E.  Carr.  In  1896  the  Andover  Co. 
was  consolidated  with  the  Bartlett  and  Rowell  Co.  at  Sunapee 
under  the  name  of  "The  Consolidated  Hame  Co.."  and  the  busi- 
ness was  continued  at  both  places.  Mr.  R.  P.  Carr  became  a 
member  of  the  Andover  Co.  in  1894.  In  1902  the  Andover  and 
the  Sunapee  plants  were  consolidated  with  the  United  Hame 
Co.  of  Buffalo,  N.  Y.;  the  J.  A.  DeArmond  Co.  of  Cincinnati, 
Ohio,  and  the  Hermann  Bros,  of  Tell  City.  Indiana,  and  were  in- 
corporated as  the  U.  S.  Hame  Co.,  with  the  following  officers: 

0.  P.  Lechtworth,  of  Buffalo,  president. 
W.  S.  Carr,  of  Andover,  vice-president. 
G.  H.  Bartlett,  of  Sunapee,  treasurer. 
Fred  Frazer,  of  S.yracuse,  N.  Y.,  clerk. 
C.  E.  Carr,  manager  of  Andover  plant. 

C.  L.  Weidriek.  manager  of  Buffalo  plant. 

1.  G.  Rowell,  manager  of  Sunapee  plant. 
R.  P.  Carr,  manager  of  Tell  City  plant. 

The  Andover  l)ranch  of  the  company  is  a  well-managed,  pros- 
perous enterprise  and  employs  generally  about  one  hundred 
workmen.  The  ]iroduets  of  this  company  find  a  market  in  nearly 
every  civilized  cinintry.

LUMBERING. 

The  value  of  the  immense  quantity  of  excellent  pine  and  spruce 
lumber  in  this  town  during  the  first  half  century  of  its  existence 
could  be  measured  only  by  the  local  demand  for  buildings, 
bridges  and  fences. 

Houses  covered  with  boards,  clapboards  and  sliingles  required 
the  use  of  many  nails,  and  hand-made  nails  were  expensive. 
The  pod  augur  of  those  days  was  neither  a  convenient  or  a  rapid- 
working  tool  and  a  house  or  barn  frame  of  that  period  required 
many  one-inch  holes  for  the  wooden  pins  that  held  in  place  the 
posts,  beams,  girts,  plates,  rafters  and  braces  against  the  mighty 
winds  that  swept  the  Andover  hills.  But  a  well  built  log  house 
or  barn  was  not  only  comparatively  comfortable,  but  with  good 
timber  and  time  in  abundance,  it  was  vastly  cheaper  than  a 
frame  building. 

These  facts  soon  confronted  the  owner  of  the  first  sawmill,  who 
had  agreed  to  saw  his  neighbor's  logs  "at  the  halves." 

His  share  of  the  lumber  was  piling  up  fast,  for  he  had  no  mar- 
ket, and  out  of  these  conditions  grew  his  long  controversy  with 
tlie  proprietors. 

Land  and  lumber  were  the  two  speculative  articles  in  the 
depths  of  the  wilderness;  but  the  trees  must  be  removed  to  get 
access  to  the  land.  Hence  many  millions  of  feet  of  first- 
class  pine  were  reduced  to  ashes  in  order  to  clear  the  land  for 
cultivation  and  grazing.  Before  the  settlement  of  the  town  a 
great  fire  had  swept  over  the  whole  northwest  section  of  the 
"great  plains"  and  destroyed  the  heavy  growth  of  pines,  mostly 
of  the  red,  sometimes,  luit  erroneously  called  the  "Norway"  va- 
riety. 

The  southeastern  and  eastern  sections  of  the  jd.yns  were  still 
covered  with  pines,  mostly  of  the  white  variety,  many  of  them 
magnificent  specimens  of  that  king  of  our  northern  woods. 

About  1798  a  great  white  pine  tree,  very  tall  and  straight, 
five  feet  in  diameter  at  the  butt,  was  cut  on  the  Joseph  ]Morey 
place  just  east  of  the  Potter  place,  not  far  from  the  house  occu- 
pied by  Charles  Baker  in  1905. 

The  number  of  sawmills  increased  with  the  infiux  of  new'  set- 
tlers, and  the  demand  for  a  better  class  of  framed  and  well- 
finished  buildings,  but  no  extensive  lumbering  operations  were 

18 


274  History  op  Andover. 

undertaken  imlil  about  18:^9,  when  Caleb  Merrill  and  Elkanah 
Bean  of  Franklin  and  Reuel  Lonji'  of  Andover  united  in  the  firm 
of  Merrill,  Bean  and  Long  to  conduct  a  general  lumbering  busi- 
ness. 

They  bought  most  of  the  lumber  near  the  Boston  Ilill  school- 
house,  except  the  Severance  lot,  and  began  their  active  campaign 
by  first  taking  off  the  white  pines  fit  for  masts.  These  were 
felled  and  immediately  removed,  because  if  left  on  the  ground 
and  another  mast  tree  fell  across  them,  one  or  both  of  the  trees 
were  almost  certain  to  be  broken,  destroying  their  value  as  masts. 
The  butt  of  the  tree  was  loaded  on  to  the  high  bunk  of  a  large 
bob  sled  and  the  team  of  six,  eight  or  more  yoke  of  oxen  started 
with  the  huge  stick,  from  85  to  135  feet  long,  for  the  ^Merrimack 
River  in  Franklin,  whence  it  was  floated  to  Lowell  and  thence 
by  the  Middlesex  Canal  to  Charlestown,  Mass.,  to  be  fashioned 
into  a  towering  mast  for  some  swift  American  clipper. 

The  logs  above  the  portion  of  the  tree  valuable  as  a  mast  were 
taken  to  the  company's  sawmill  at  East  Andover,  to  be  cut  into 
boards. 

These  formidable  ox  teams,  with  their  ponderous  trailing  loads, 
were  an  attractive  feature  in  the  winter  landscape. 

An  ever-present  element  of  danger  in  handling  such  unwieldy 
loads  lent  an  additional  zest  to  the  ever  attractive  life  in  the 
woods. 

At  the  curves  and  angles  in  the  roads  and  wherever  one  side 
of  the  road  happened  to  be  the  highest,  the  rear  end  of  the  mast 
would  swing  around  like  the  tail  of  a  mighty  serpent,  and  small 
trees,  wooden  fences  and  even  stone  walls  were  swept  away  as 
easily  as  are  charred  weed-stalks  by  the  farmer's  plow. 

These  teams  held  the  right  of  way.  and  when  the  unfortunate 
traveler,  with  his  one  horse,  met  or  overtook  a  team  or  a  proces- 
sion of  such  teams,  he  had  to  sit,  in  drifting  snow  perhaps,  with 
such  patience  as  he  might,  until  some  wider  s])()t  in  tlie  road  en- 
abled him  to  pass. 

About  1,200  masts  were  taken  from  the  "plains"  at  this  time 
and  John  Fellows  and  Benjamin  F.  Scribner  managed  the  haul- 
ing from  the  lot  to  the  river.  After  the  masts  were  removed, 
the  rest  of  the  lumber  was  hauled  to  the  mill  at  the  village  and 
to  the  Graves  mill  below  the  village. 


Mills,  Manufactures  and  Insurance.  275 

Other  mast  timber  was  cut  in  town,  notably  about  Bradley 
Pond  and  on  other  sections  of  the  "plain,"  but  the  methods  of 
hauling  and  marketing  were  the  same  as  already  described. 

Between  1850  and  1860  a  large  amount  of  hemlock,  spruce  and 
white  pine  lumber  was  cut  in  the  vicinity  of  Bradley  Pond  by 
Cyrus  Gookin  of  West  Salisbury,  drawn  in  the  winter  to  the 
bank  of  the  Blackwater  River  below  the  Seavey  bridge,  rolled 
into  the  river  at  highwater  in  the  spring  and  floated  down  to 
the  owner's  mill. 

With  the  advent  of  the  portable  steam  sawmill,  rapidly  mov- 
ing from  lot  to  lot,  forests  are  quickly  converted  into  merchant- 
able lumber;  but  mucli  of  the  old-time  comradeship  among  the 
young  farmers  along  the  luml)er  road,  with  their  teams  of  sturdy 
oxen,  and  the  busy  hum  of  the  mill  by  the  waterside,  with  the 
odor  of  pine  and  spruce  throughout  the  year,  have  disappeared. 

The  Pole  and  the  Italian  follow  the  smoke  and  the  whistle  of 
the  steam  mill,  but  leave  little  trace  of  their  occupation,  save  the 
unsightly  piles  of  sawdust,  where  once  the  young  and  rapidly 
growing  trees  lent  shade  and  beauty  to  our  hillsides.

MARRIAGES  IN  ANDOVER. 


The  following  (hita  are  mostly  taken  from  the  town  records.  A  consid- 
erable number  of  records,  however,  have  been  obtained  from  the  diaries  of 
Rev.  Josiah  Badcock,  and  other  ministers.  It  is  highly  probable  that  of 
many  marriages,  no  record,  public  or  private,  was  ever  made,  especially 
those  performed  by  justices  of  the  peace.  It  is  a  serious  misfortune  that 
many  of  the  town  records  of  marriages  between  1844  and  1880  have  been 
lost. 

Although  most  of  the  following  data  can  l)e  found  scattered  throughout 
the  genealogical  section,  this  condensed  record  is  published  as  a  source  of 
ready  and  valuable  information.

DEATHS  IX  ANDOVER. 

The  principal  source  of  information  concerning  tlie  dates  of 
deaths  among  the  early  settlers  of  this  town  is  the  record  or 
diary  of  Rev.  Josiali  Badcock.  In  some  instances  the  dates  in 
this  record  differ  from  one  to  four  days  from  the  records  or 
traditions  of  the  various  families,  but  at  this  time  it  is  impossible, 
in  many  instances,  to  fix  the  actual  date.  In  order  to  employ 
the  Badcock  and  other  data  for  other  purposes  in  this  history, 
an  index  of  the  Badcock  and  other  records  was  prepared.  This 
was  found  so  helpful,  in  such  use  of  the  records,  that  it  is  printed 
in  the  following  columns  which  precede  the  records  of  deaths.

The  above  list,  as  well  as  the  preceding  list  from  I\Ir.  Bad- 
cock's  records,  is  not  without  errors,  but  it  has  been  considered 
best  to  give  both  lists  as  they  were  found.  It  is  not  certain  that 
all  the  deaths  that  occurred  in  town  from  1782  to  1835  are  found 
in  these  lists.

RECORDS   OF   DEATHS. 

The  following  references  to  deaths  of  Andover  people,  or  to 
those  closely  conected  with  our  citizens,  are  taken  from  the  diary 
of  Mr.  "William  Adams  Bachelder.  The  numerous  entries  in  that 
diary  were  made  without  reference  to  other  sources  of  informa- 
tion and  so  are  specially  valuable  for  identification  and  confirm- 
ation. Only  such  items  are  contained  in  these  extracts  as  are  not 
given  in  the  various  family  or  cemetery  records ;  except  where 
they  are  desirable  for  special  purposes. 

In  many  instances  the  entry  refers  to  the  date  of  the  funeral 
services,  and  in  such  cases  the  letter  F  follows  the  date. 

♦According  to  Mr.  Badcock's  own  notes,  this  number  should  be  174,  if  he  reckons 
adults  and  children.

CExMETEKIES. 

The  first  burials  in  town  were  made  at  Boston  Kill  in  the  little 
cemetery  for  which  the  land  was  given  by  William  INIorey.  The 
first  person  buried  was  Elsie,  daughter  of  William  IMorey,  but 
no  stone  was  erected  to  mark  the  spot. 

The  next  interments  were  in  the  little  graveyard  on  the  west 
side  of  the  stream  in  East  xVndovcr  village. 

Then  followed  the  use  of  the  cemetery  now  north  of  the  North 
Church  at  East  Andover,  for  which  a  special  deed  was  given  by 
Charles  Hilton. 

The  old  cemetery  at  the  Center  is  on  land  given  for  that  pur- 
pose by  Benjamin  Cilley,  and  was  first  used  about  1780.  The 
lots  were  free.  Some  of  the  older  graves  are  marked  by  rough, 
uncut  stones  with  no  inscription. 

The  Simonds  burial  ground  was  the  first  on  the  River  Road. 
It  is  supposed  that  the  land  was  given  by  Nathaniel  Danford, 
who  was  the  original  settler  on  the  J.  W.  Simonds  place.  The 
first  person  buried  there  was  Alpheus  ]\Ioore,  a  lawyer,  who  died 
suddenly,  April  25,  1803,  while  travelling  through  that  section 
of  the  town. 

The  larger  cemetery  at  Taunton  Hill  was  first  used  November 
23,  1782.  The  land  was  given  for  a  cemetery  by  Obadiah 
Worth,  who  was  the  first  person  buried  there. 

The  Sawyer  cemetery  is  near  Scribner's  corner  in  the  eastern 
part  of  the  town  (now  a  part  of  Franklin). 

The  new  cemetery  at  Andover  Center  was  projected  by  Hon. 
John  Proctor  and  is  now  controlled  by  an  incorporated  associ- 
ation. The  officers  of  this  association  have  been  George  W. 
Thompson,  Walter  S.  Thompson,  John  Proctor,  Nathan  Wood- 
burj'.  Frank  W.  Proctor,  Clarence  E.  Carr,  Amos  H.  Proctor, 
Carrie  E.  Carr.  AValter  S.  Carr,  J.  R.  Eastman  and  Henry  A. 
Weymouth. 

The  land  for  the  new  Lakeside  cemetery  at  East  Andover  Avas 
bought  and  laid  out  by  Watson  Dickerson  and  Joseph  Ayers 
Rowe.     IMr.  Dickerson  left  by  his  will  $1,000.  the  interest  of  the

sum  to  be  devoted  forever  to  the  maintenance  and  care  of  the 
grounds.  Mr.  Rowe's  son,  Frank  Pierce  Rowe,  was  the  first 
person  buried  in  the  new  cemetery. 

Lakeview  cemetery,  adjoining  Lakeside  on  the  east,  was  es- 
tablished on  land  owned  by  Smith  D.  Sanborn. 

Since  the  organization  of  the  new  cemetery  association  at  An- 
•dover  Center,  many  of  the  graves  of  those  originally  interred  in 
the  old  cemetery  have  been  transferred  to  the  new  locality.  For 
this  reason  the  list  of  those  interred  in  the  old  cemetery  has  been 
materially  decreased. 

The  following  record  of  persons  interred  in  all  of  the  ceme- 
teries is  brought  down  to  1880 ;  in  most  of  them  to  about  1900. 
In  some  cases  the  record  is  continued  as  late  as  1906. 

These  lists  exhibit  the  names  of  many  persons  whose  deaths 
are  recorded  elsewhere ;  but  they  contain  valuable  information 
<3oncerning  the  place  of  interment.  They  also  present  the  only 
known  record  of  many  people.

While  a  body  of  troops  was  marching  through  Andover  towards  the  northern 
frontier,  during  the  War  of  1812-'14,  three  soldiers  were  taken  sick.  One  was  left  at 
Kimball's  tavern,  at  Kimball's  corner;  one  at  Benjamin  Thompson's  tavern;  and  one 
at  the  tavern  of  Moses  Johnson  at  West  Andover.  The  name  of  one  was  unknown; 
of  another,  Asa  was  the  only  name  that  could  be  learned;  while  the  third,  at  Kim- 
ball's, was  Hiram  Hill  of  Maine.  They  all  died,  and  were  buried  in  the  northwest 
corner  of  the  old  cemetery,  at  the  Center.

This  lodge  held  its  meetings  generally  at  the  Centre  Road, 
now  Salisbury  Heights.  A  lodge  room  was  built  in  the  house 
at  East  Andover,  owned  and  occupied  by  Hezekiah  Blake,  after- 
wards owned  by  Charles  B.  Hilton,  at  the  corner  west  of  the 
present  residence  of  Charles  H.  Hilton.  It  is  believed  that  some 
of  the  meetings  of  Samaritan  Lodge  were  held  in  this  room.  It 
is  known  that  some  of  its  meetings  were  held  in  the  house  of 
Elijah  Hilton,  where  Henry  AV.  Kilburn  now  lives.  There  is  a 
tradition  that  some  meetings  were  held  in  the  house  of  Peter 
Fifield,  now  standing  at  Andover  Centre.  Some  Andover  men 
were  members  of  this  lodge.     Most  of  their  names  are  given 

below :

Hezekiah  Blake  Jeremiah  Marston 

Samuel  Brown  Enoch  Merrill 

Ebenezer  Chase  William  Proctor 

Joseph  Cilley  James  Severance 

Samuel  Cilley  Benjamin  Thompson 

Tilton  Elkins  Jonathan  "Weare 

Peter  Fifield  Thomas  R.  White 

Elijah  Hilton  John  Woodbury 
Samuel  Kimball 

Samuel  Brown  was  master  of  this  lodge  in  1825  and  Thomas 
R.  White  in  1826. 

The  most  of  the  following  historical  account  of  the  ]\Iasonic 
lodge  in  Andover  is  taken  directly  from  a  paper  read  at  the 
twenty-fifth  anniversary  of  Kearsarge  Lodge  on  June  23,  1891, 
by  Nathan  Woodbury,  for  many  years  secretary  of  the  lodge. 

In  the  winter  of  1866  a  few  of  the  leading  citizens  of  Andover 
and  vicinity,  who  were  members  of  different  Masonic  lodges, 
more  or  less  remote,  started  a  movement  for  the  organization  of 
a  lodge  of  Free  and  Accepted  Masons  at  Andover  Centre,  for  the 
purpose  of  advancing  the  interests  of  the  order,  and  at  the 
same  time  to  avail  themselves  of  the  benefits,  pleasures  and  asso- 
ciations therewith  connected;  and  proceeded  to  circulate  peti- 
tions for  the  signatures  of  Masons,  both  for  the  organization  of 
a  new  lodge  and  also  recommending  the  same.  A  majority  of 
the  signers  were  actual  members  of  King  Solomon's  Lodge  at 
Scvtheville,  now  Elkins.     Others  were  from  Social  Lodge,  No. 


35U  History  of  Andover. 

50,  at  Enfield,  from  St.  Peter's  Lodge  at  Bradford,  from  Mt. 
Moriah  at  Grafton,  now  extinct,  from  Samaritan  Lodge,  No.  14, 
at  Salisbury,  and  from  Warner,  now  both  extinct;  some  were 
from  ]\Iassachusetts  lodges  and  some  of  the  signers  were  non- 
affiliated Masons. 

This  petition,  with  the  names  of  fifty-three  signers,  was  for- 
warded to  the  grand  master  of  the  Grand  Lodge,  with  the  re- 
quest that  the  new  lodge  be  given  the  name  "Union."  The 
petitioners  also  forwarded  the  statement  that  they  had  the 
approbation  of  the  district  deputy  general  master  of  District 
No.  5,  and  the  consent  of  the  nearest  working  lodge  for  a  dis- 
pensation empowering  them  to  ''meet  at  Andover  on  Saturday 
on  or  before  every  full  of  the  moon,  and  there  to  discharge  the 
duties  of  Ancient  York  Masonry  in  a  constitutional  manner,  ac- 
cording to  the  forms  of  the  order  and  the  laws  of  the  Grand 
Lodge." 

They  nominated  and  recommended  Brother  George  Sleeper 
to  be  the  first  master,  Brother  Charles  W.  Quimby  to  be  the  first 
senior  warden,  and  Brother  William  H.  Huntoon  to  be  the  first 
junior  warden  of  the  said  new  lodge. 

The  dispensation  was  granted  April  16,  1866,  by  Hon.  J. 
Everett  Sargent  of  Wentworth,  then  the  grand  master  of  the 
Grand  Lodge,  to  remain  in  force  till  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
Grand  Lodge  in  June,  1866.  Within  a  year  a  lodge  named 
Union  had  been  chartered  in  Bristol  and  the  grand  master  gave 
the  name  Kearsarge  to  the  new  lodge  in  Andover,  to  receive  the 
proper  number  when  chartered.  Brother  Sleeper  was  not  ap- 
pointed the  first  master,  as  recommended,  because  he  was  then 
liolding  the  office  of  warden  in  King  Solomon's  Lodge. 

Brother  John  B.  Wadleigh  w^as  appointed  to  fill  the  position 
of  master,  and  the  wardens  were  appointed  as  recommended  in 
the  petition.  Masons  in  this  vicinity  who  desired  to  affiliate  with 
the  new  lodge  asked  for  and  received  dimits  from  the  lodges  to 
which  they  had  respectively  belonged. 

Afterwards,  in  1871,  Masonic  law  and  usage  ruled  that  the 
act  of  signing  a  recommendation  for  a  new  lodge  actually  di- 
mitted  such  member  from  the  original  lodge  and  constituted  his 
membership  in  the  new  one. 

On  April  28,  1866,  Kearsarge  Lodge,  under  dispensation,  held 


Masonic  Fraternity.  351 

its  first  meeting  in  a  hall  on  the  third  floor  of  the  first  Proctor's 
block,  standing  on  the  same  foundation  as  the  second  Proctor's 
block,  in  which  Kearsarge  Lodge  is  now  located.  Brother  John 
B.  Wadleigh  served  as  master,  and  the  other  stations  were  filled 
by  election  and  appointment. 

Brothers  Shirley  and  Sleeper  were  appointed  to  draft  and 
present  a  constitution  and  by-laws.  Brothers  Sleeper,  Carr  and 
Huntoon  were  appointed  a  committee  to  estimate  the  expense  of 
fitting  up  the  lodge  rooms  and  the  cost  of  jewels,  and  to  arrange 
with  Mr.  Proctor  for  the  rent.  An  assessment  of  fifty  cents  per 
member  was  voted.  Brother  John  Fellows  was  elected  the  first 
representative  to  the  Grand  Lodge. 

Kearsarge  Lodge  was  chartered  June  13,  and  was  duly  consti- 
tuted on  June  23,  1866,  John  H.  Rowell,  grand  master  of  the 
Grand  Lodge  of  New  Hampshire,  being  present.  Bro.  George 
Sleeper  was  chosen  master  under  the  charter.  The  other  offi- 
cers remained  the  same  as  under  the  dispensation,  except  that 
]\L  P.  Thompson  was  chosen  treasurer  and  J.  B.  Wadleigh  mar- 
shal. Of  the  twenty-three  Masons  present  at  the  constitution  of 
the  lodge,  fourteen  were  living  at  the  twenty-fifth  anniversary, 
and  seven,  J.  H.  Eowell,  H.  A.  Weymouth,  John  B.  Wadleigh, 
Charles  W.  Quimby,  John  F.  Emery,  J.  D.  Philbrick,  and  C.  H. 
Morrill,  were  present  at  the  meeting  on  June  23,  1891. 

In  August,  1866,  Bros.  John  Fellows,  H.  A.  Weymouth  and 
John  P.  Carr  were  authorized  to  furnish  the  lodge  room,  to  hire 
money  for  that  purpose,  and  give  their  note  for  the  same.  Sub- 
sequently they  reported  that  they  had  expended  the  sum  of 
$570.69. 

In  September  the  fee  for  the  degrees  was  raised  from  $15  to 
$25,  and  in  January,  1867,  a  direct  tax  of  $5  was  assessed  on 
each   member   towards   paying   the   indebtedness   of   the   lodge. 

On  July  13,  1867,  Bro.  J.  W.  Fellows  presented  the  lodge  with 
a  beautiful  IMasonic  chart. 

The  act  of  incorporation,  approved  June  22,  1867,  was  ac- 
cepted and  adopted  February  1,  1868. 

In  ]March,  1868,  all  the  rooms  on  the  third  floor  of  Proctor's 
block  were  leased  for  a  term  of  ten  years. 

In  May,  1868,  the  ladies,  wives,  sisters  and  daughters  of 
members,  presented  the  lodge  with  a  large  Bi])le  for  the  altar. 


iii)'2,  History  op  Andover, 

In  August,  1868,  Bro.  John  F.  Emery  was  appointed  a  com- 
mittee to  ascertain  the  actual  indebtedness  of  the  lodge.  He 
finally  reported  the  indebtedness  to  be  $148.63.  A  vote  was 
then  passed  to  assess  each  member  $4  per  year  until  the  debt 
be  paid. 

August  29,  1868,  Bro.  John  M.  Shirley  presented  the  lodge 
with  a  solid  silver  square  and  compass,  in  behalf  of  the  wives, 
sisters  and  daughters  of  the  members.  The  donors  were  invited 
to  be  present  on  October  10  following,  at  a  meeting  for  social 
entertainment  and  for  a  supper. 

"While  the  years  were  passing,  and  our  debts  were  being 
steadily  lifted,  on  July  19,  1871,  our  new  hall,  our  charter  and 
our  entire  furniture,  which  had  cost  us  $1,000,  were  destroyed 
by  fire.  We  had  no  insurance  and  the  flames  spared  nothing- 
but  two  small  books  and  a  considerable  debt.  Having  degree 
work  on  hand  at  that  time.  King  Solomon's  Lodge,  then  at 
Wilmot  Flat,  opened  wide  its  doors,  and  a  dispensation  from 
the  grand  master  enabled  us  to  complete  the  work. 

"Stated  communications  were  held  in  Academy  hall  and  in 
the  hall  of  the  Franklin  House,  formerly  kept  by  Bro.  S.  S. 
Moulton,  until  the  completion  of  this  our  new  hall,  when  Bro. 
Robert  C.  Carr  was  authorized  to  procure  a  lease  of  ]\Ir.  Proc- 
tor for  ten  years." 

The  following  January  the  beautiful  large  Bible  now  used  on 
the  altar  was  presented  by  the  ladies,  with  words  of  euccur- 
agement  by  Miss  Mary  A.  Brown,  on  behalf  of  the  donors.  A 
fitting  response  was  made  by  Bro.  C.  W.  Woodbury  on  behalf 
of  the  lodge. 

The  committee  appointed  to  raise  funds  to  refurnish  the 
present  rooms  reported  subscriptions  amounting  to  $396;  re- 
ceipts from  a  festival  conducted  by  the  ladies  to  aid  the  fra- 
ternity, $62;  in  all,  $458.  On  January  31,  1874,  the  records 
show  the  lodge  out  of  debt. 

Later  the  ladies  gave  the  lodge  $15.75,  to  provide  the  curtains 
which  are  still  in  use,  and  Bro.  J.  W.  Fellows  presented  the 
beautiful  picture  of  George  Washington  in  ]Masonic  regalia, 
now  suspended  over  the  senior  warden's  station. 

Notwithstanding  its  reverses,  Kearsarge  Lodge  has  kept 
steadily  on.     Additions  have  been  made  from  time  to  time  to 


Masonic  Fraternity.  353 

replace  removals,  and  it  now  (1891)  numbers  sixty  members, 
with  a  fair  average  attendance  and  degree  work  on  hand.  Its 
charities  have  been  generous  and  well  bestowed,  its  benefits  well 
earned  and  its  honor  untarnished  and  well  preserved  by  its 
officers  and  members  who  have  been  worthy  and  well  qualified. 
The  losses  by  death  to  1891  have  been  as  follows : 
S.  S.  Moulton  C.  H.  Melendy 

John  Fellows  W.  H.  IMelendy 

John  Woodbury  Peter  Stone 

Horace  S.  Clay  C.  H.  Potter

William  H.  Huntoon  B.  T.  Severance 

B.  Frank  Kilburu  John  P.  Carr 
Samuel  Bobbins  Amos  H.  Proctor 
George  H.  Morrill 

In  1895  the  lodge  purchased  new  regalias  and  jewels,  and  also 
two  swords,  at  an  aggregate  cost  of  $70. 

The  twenty-ninth  anniversary  of  the  lodge  was  observed  Oc- 
tober 26,  1895,  with  the  wives,  sisters  and  daughters  of  the  mem- 
bers present.  The  exercises  consisted  of  a  musical  program,, 
banquet  and  a  social  hour.  ]\Iany  portraits  of  members  have' 
been  presented  to  the  lodge,  and  there  are  about  two  dozen  now 
hanging  on  the  walls  of  the  hall. 

Since  1891  dimits  have  been  granted  to  H.  M.  Bosworth,  H.  B. 
Dow,  Joseph  Baker,  and  J.  C.  Danforth. 

From  1891  to  1901  eighteen  new  members  were  received  by 
initiation  and  by  card,  and  by  death  the  lodge  lost  the  following 
members : 

C.  G.  Pevare,  East  Andover.      David  E.  Clark.  Franklin.

THE  LOCATION  AND  TOPOGRAPHY  OF  ANDOVER. 

Andover  is  situated  in  the  central  part  of  New  Hampshire, 
and  in  the  northern  part  of  Merrimack  County.  It  is  bounded 
on  the  north  by  the  towns  of  Hill,  Danbury  and  Wilmot;  on  the 
east  by  the  city  of  Franklin ;  on  the  south  by  the  towns  of  Salis- 
bury and  Warner,  and  on  the  west  by  the  town  of  Wilmot. 

The  Pemigewasset  River  was  the  eastern  boundary  of  the  orig- 
inal grant,  and  the  southeastern  corner  of  the  township  was 
about  half  a  mile  above  the  junction  of  the  Pemigewasset  and 
Winnipesaukee  rivers  that  unite  to  form  the  Merrimack. 

The  approximate  latitude  of  the  center  village  is  North  43° 
27'  and  the  longitude  is  71°  50'  West  from  Greenwich  or  5°  14' 
East  from  Washington.  The  center  village  is,  by  railway.  29 
miles  from  Concord.  104  miles  from  Boston,  and  41  miles  from 
White  River  Junction,  in  Vermont.  By  highway,  along  the 
route  of  the  old  Fourth  New  Hampshire  Turnpike,  the  distance 
from  Concord  to  the  center  village  is  23  miles. 

The  western  part  of  the  town  lies  between  Kearsarge  and 
Ragged  mountains,  covering  a  large  part  of  the  northeastern 
slope  of  Kearsarge  and  nearly  all  of  the  southern  slope  of  Ragged 
Mountain.  The  central  and  eastern  sections  stretch  southward 
from  the  eastern  spurs  and  foothills  of  Ragged  IMountain  in  a 
succession  of  hills  and  valleys,  slopes  and  meadows,  such  as  con- 
stitute the  distinctive  beauty  of  the  hill  country  of  New  Hamp- 
shire. The  surface  of  the  town  is  divided,  practically,  into  two 
separate  drainage  systems, — one  formed  by  the  Blackwater  River 
and  its  tributaries,  and  the  other  by  the  Highland  Lake  and  the 
Webster  Lake  basins,  that  by  a  short  outlet  reach  the  Pemige- 
wasset River.  The  low  and  inconspicuous  ridge  joining  Taun- 
ton Hill  and  Boston  Hill  marks  the  dividing  line  between  the 
two  systems. 

MOUNTAINS. 

KEARSARGE. 

This  mountain  is  a  prominent  landmark,  the  dominant  feature 
in  the  landscape  in  this  section  of  the  state.  As  an  isolated  peak 
it  stands  a  dark  and  silent  sentinel  at  the  gateway  to  the  mighty 


356  History  of  Andoveb, 

hills  of  the  north,  recognizing  no  rival  save  the  grand  Monad- 
nock  far  to  the  southwest.  Seen  from  the  northeast  to  the  south- 
east the  view  is  at  once  beautiful  and  impressive,  and  happy  the 
sons  of  men  who  from  a  thousand  hills  and  valleys  may  turn 
their  eyes  to  catch  the  first  glint  of  the  morning  light  from  its 
towering  peak. 

There  is  a  tradition  that  when  first  seen  by  white  men,  this 
peak  was  nearly  covered  to  the  top  with  a  dense  growth  of  spruce 
timber,  but  soon  after  that  period  the  top  of  the  mountain  was 
swept  by  a  destructive  fire  which  burned  every  tree  and  shrub 
far  down  its  slopes. 

The  work  of  the  Coast  and  Geodetic  Survey  fixed  the  height 
of  Kearsarge  as  2,970  feet  above  sea  level.  Other  authorities 
have  placed  it  at  2,943  feet.  The  top  of  the  mountain  lies  in 
the  town  of  Warner,  but  some  portions  of  the  eminence  lie  in 
the  towns  of  Salisbury,  Sutton,  Wilmot  and  Andover. 

The  southwest  corner  bound  of  Andover  rests  on  the  northeast 
slope  of  Kearsarge  ]\Iountain.  ]\Iuch  has  been  written  and 
spoken  concerning  the  true  name  of  this  peak,  and  a  prolonged 
and  heated  discussion  of  the  rival  claims  of  this  and  of  the  Car- 
roll County  peak  for  the  honor  of  giving  the  name  to  the  victor 
in  the  famous  sea  fight  of  the  Kearsarge  and  the  Alabama  has 
made  this  mountain  a  noted  point  in  the  scenery  of  this  section 
of  our  country. 

It  is  not  proposed  to  re-open  the  discussion  of  those  rival 
clainLS.  which,  happily,  have  been  justly  settled,  but  to  present  a 
few  facts  concerning  the  history  of  this  beautiful  isolated  peak. 
In  his  historical  address  at  the  centennial  celebration  of  the  in- 
corporation of  the  town  of  Andover,  on  June  25,  1879.  Mr. 
George  E.  Emery  presented  the  following  interesting  and  impor- 
tant historical  notes  concerning  the  INIerrimack  County  Kear- 
sarge and  its  immediate  vicinity: 

"The  General  Court  of  INIassachusetts,  September  6.  1638. 
ordered  a  survey  of  the  ]\Ierrimack  River,  to  ascertain  its  extent 
northward,  with  a  view  of  appropriating  the  ]Masonian  lands  and 
suppressing  the  Wheelwright  claim  at  Exeter  under  an  Indian 
deed.  I  have  discovered  that  a  party  of  explorers,  with  Na- 
thaniel Woodward  as  chief  surveyor,  and  some  Indian  guides, 
made  a  survey  of  the  Merrimack  River  in  1639,  from  its  great

bend  at  the  present  southerly  line  of  New  Hampshire,  as  far 
north  as  Pennacook  (now  Concord,  N.  H.,),  and  explored  the 
river  (ceasing  their  measurements  at  Pennacook)  as  far  north 
as  Andover  and  Kearsarge  Mountain.  At  that  date  Andover 
was  first  visited  by  civilized  men.  I  was  so  fortunate  as  to  bring 
to  light  in  the  spring  of  1877  the  original  plan  of  the  survey  of 
the  Merrimack  River  in  1639.  Upon  this  remarkable  historic 
relic  or  map  Kearsarge  is  called  '  Carasaga. '  The  name  Carasaga 
or  Kearsarge,  it  should  be  stated,  was  given  to  the  chief  mountain 
of  this  region  by  the  Natic  Indian  guides.  The  name  means 
when  fully  translated  'Notch-pointed-mountain-of-pines.'  The 
notch  at  the  summit  is  at  present  a  noticeable  peculiarity  in  the 
outline  of  Kearsarge  when  seen  from  the  eastward.  The  moun- 
tain was  covered  with  pine  trees  as  late  as  1796.  That  year  a 
great  fire  swept  the  mountain  free  of  nearly  all  the  primeval 
forest  that  had  grown  upon  it.  The  great  fire  so  lighted  up  the 
surrounding  country  at  night,  for  nearly  a  week,  that  the  New 
Testament  could  be  read  out  of  doors  in  the  western  part  of  this 
toAvn.  .  .  .  ]\rany  small  military  expeditions  were  sent  up 
the  valley  of  the  Merrimack  and  among  the  mountains  of  the 
southern  and  central  parts  of  New  Hampshire  after  1720.  Sat- 
urday, July  31,  1725,  Capt.  Samuel  Willard  encamped  with  a 
party  of  soldiers  and  some  friendly  Indian  guides  upon  the  top 
of  Monadnock  ^Mountain.  In  the  journal  of  his  march  Captain 
Willard  relates  that  he  saw  'Cusagee.' 

"On  the  8th  of  August.  1725,  he  was  in  the  west  part  of  this 
town  on  his  return  towards  Massachusetts,  as  he  said,  'By  rea- 
son of  our  Indians  having  no  provision  and  several  of  our  Eng- 
lish but  little.'  Capt.  Joseph  Blanchard-with  a  party  of  ran- 
gers went  down  through  Andover  along  near  the  present  river 
road  the  same  day,  which  was  Sunday,  when  Willard  was  in  West 
Andover.  Capt.  Ebenezer  Tyng  of  Dunstable  led  an  expedition 
in  search  of  Indians  up  the  Merrimack  valley  and  visited  Chance 
pond.  April  11,  1825.  Another  notable  Indian  fighter  named 
John  White  was  in  this  town  with  a  party  of  forest  rangers  on 
April  18,  1725.  he  having  scouted  along  the  east  side  of  the 
Salisbury  Bays  the  day  before.  White  described  the  region 
hereabouts  as  'very  full  of  great  hills  and  mountains.'  "

A  copy  of  this  map  may  be  found,  together  with  some  notes  on 
the  survey,  in  the  Historical  Collections  of  the  Essex  Institute, 
Vol.  XIV.  p.  153. 

It  should  be  said  that  there  is  probably  no  evidence  to  show 
that  Goodman  Woodward  and  his  party  ever  reached  the  terri- 
tory of  Andover,  but  it  is  certain  that  they  did  locate  with  con- 
siderable accuracy  the  relative  position  of  the  mountain  which 
they  named  "Carasaga"  and  we  call  Kearsarge. 

RAGGED  MOUNTAIN. 

This  truly  ragged  pile  of  ledge  and  boulder,  crag  and  cliff, 
hill  and  ravine,  stretches  along  the  northwest  boundary  of  the 
town,  and  is  a  fitting  companion  to  Kearsarge,  as  they  both  stand 
like  sturdy  guardians  over  the  traffic  and  travel  that  ebbs  and 
flows  through  the  great  natural  highway  between  their  massive 
walls  of  stone. 

Like  most  of  the  detached  peaks  throughout  the  Appalachian 
range,  the  south  and  southeastern  slopes  of  both  Ragged  and 
Kearsarge  mountains  are  by  far  the  most  abrupt.  Between  the 
summit  of  Ragged  and  the  center  village,  and  really  one  of  the 
foothills  of  the  mountain,  rises  the  rounded  dome  of  Pine  hiU, 
once  covered  with  a  valuable  growth  of  pine  timber.  Farther  to 
the  east  and  nearer  the  east  and  west  axis  of  the  mountain  ap- 
pears the  notable  "Bulkhead,"  an  almost  perpendicular  cliff 
nearly  400  feet  high. 

Still  farther  to  the  east  and  practically  along  the  whole  length 
of  the  present  northern  boundary  of  the  town  lies  a  range  of 
foothills  with  a  gradually  decreasing  elevation,  pierced  by  two 
passes  or  gaps  through  which  roads  run  to  Hill  and  beyond. 
Through  the  western  gap  ran  the  first  state  road  from  Concord 
to  Dartmouth  College. 

Since  the  settlement  of  this  section  of  the  state  fierce  fires  have 
destroyed  the  trees,  shrubs  and  leaf  mould  on  the  higher  parts  of 
the  mountain,  leaving  at  the  top  and  for  some  distance  below 


Location  and  Topography.  359 

nothing'  but  bare  rock,  while  bhieberry  bushes  and  other  small 
shrubs  live  on  the  still  lower  slopes.  From  the  summit  the  view 
commands  the  White  Mountain  region  and  is  charming  in  every 
respect.  The  height  of  Ragged  Mountain  above  sea  level  is  a 
little  over  2,000  feet. 

HILLS. 

The  hill  lying  to  the  southwest  of  Cilleyville  and  traversed  by 
the  old  road  leading  up  to  the  "Wesley  Cilley  farm  was  formerly 
known  as  Twist  Hill,  on  account  of  the  winding  or  twisting 
course  of  the  old  highway  which  may  still  be  traced. 

Prospect  Hill  is  situated  on  the  south  side  of  the  Blackwater 
River  and  southeasterly  from  Potter  Place.  As  it  lies  at  the 
western  end  of  the  larger  river  valley  the  views  from  its  summit 
are  far  broader  than  from  any  other  similar  height  in  the 
vicinity. 

Stretching  southward  from  the  Bachelder  road  and  lying  be- 
tween the  Bachelder  or  Fellows  meadow  and  Bradley  pond  lies  a 
rocky  ridge  known  as  the  Bear  World.  Tradition  avers  that  this 
locality  was  once  a  well-known  resort  of  the  ordinary  black  bear, 
and  the  conditions  for  the  last  sixty  years  would  indicate  the 
high  probability  of  the  story.  This  ridge  terminates  just  south 
of  the  Salisbury  line  in  a  rounded  peak  known  for  many  years 
as  Bald  Hill.  The  name  Bear  World  is  also  applied  to  another 
locality  on  the  eastern  slope  of  Ragged  ^Mountain,  including  the 
mountain  brook  ravine  and  adjacent  rough  territory. 

Mompey  Hill  is  more  properly  a  spur  of  Ragged  ^Mountain,  and 
lies  northwesterly  of  the  center  village.  It  includes  the  territory 
between  Mud  or  Mooseauket  pond  on  the  east  and  Cole  pond 
and  the  house  of  the  Ragged  Mountain  Fish  and  Game  Club  on 
the  west.  There  is  a  farm  with  a  fertile  soil  on  this  hill,  but  it 
has  been  neglected.  The  prospect  from  several  points  on  the 
hill  is  unsurpassed  from  any  similar  height  in  town. 

Beech  Hill  includes  a  large  territory  lying  between  Bradley 
pond  on  the  west  and  the  heights  above  the  river  on  the  east,  and 
from  the  higher  lands  south  of  the  Blackwater  river  southerly  to 
the  Salisbury  line.  Apple  Hill,  the  highest  point,  is  the  most 
prominent  feature  in  the  landscape,  and  its  rounded,  bare  sum- 
mit affords  views  that  in  breadth  and  distance  are  unsurpassed

ill  lliis  section  of  the  county,  except  by  the  outk>ok  from  the 
peaks  of  Kearsarge  and  Ragged  mountains.  The  local  name 
indicates  that  the  first  settlers  found  a  large  percentage  of  beech 
trees  in  the  forest,  a  peculiarity  that  still  exists.  This  section 
abounds  with  almost  every  variety  of  scenery  in  town,  making 
it  an  attractive  locality  for  walks  and  drives  to  every  lover  of 
field  and  wood  and  stream. 

Overlook,  the  high  bluff  that  rises  sharply  from  the  intervale 
south  of  the  center  village,  is  really  the  most  prominent  northern 
spur  of  Beech  Hill.  Its  height  and  proximity  shut  off  the  view 
of  Kearsarge  from  most  of  the  houses  in  the  village. 

Oak  Hill  lies  north  of  the  road  from  the  Shirley  place  to  and 
past  Nathan  Woodbury's  and  stretching  northward  nearly  to 
Adder  pond.  This  is  a  prominent  object  in  the  landscape  at  all 
seasons,  but  in  the  autumn  the  wonderful  mass  of  oak  leaves  is  a 
charming  study  in  brown. 

Taunton  Hill,  like  Beech  Hill,  is  the  name  of  a  locality  rather 
than  of  a  single  elevation.  It  includes  the  high  land  west  of 
Highland  Lake,  north  and  east  of  the  great  plains  and  northward 
toward  the  Hill  line.  From  the  residence  of  ex-Gov.  N.  J.  Bach- 
elder  the  view  to  the  south  and  east  is  very  attractive.  The  view 
to  the  eastward  across  Highland  Lake  and  the  valley  of  the  ]\Ier- 
rimack  and  on  to  Red  Hill  and  Gunstock  ]\Iountain  is  worthy  of 
the  unstinted  praise  that  has  been  bestowed  upon  it  for  many 
years.  He  who  fully  describes  it  must  be  an  adept  in  the  use 
of  superlatives.  The  early  settlers  found  here  an  excellent  soil, 
and  their  descendants  have  so  well  managed  it  that  some  of  the 
best  farms  in  town  are  now  found  on  this  hill. 

Mr.  George  E.  Emery  believed  that  the  name  was  derived  from 
an  Indian  name,  Xtanntawem,  meaning  "I  climb."  Whether 
this  be  correct  or  not,  the  traveler  who  gains  the  summit  from 
any  side  will  be  ready  to  believe  that  at  least  it  is  probable. 

The  prominent  eminence  lying  east  of  the  great  plains,  west 
of  the  little  plains  and  south  of  the  railroad,  was  first  settled  by 
William  Morey.  and  Avas  for  some  time  known  as  ]\Iorey's  Hill. 
After  Morey  moved  to  Wilmot  the  section  to  which  he  moved 
became  known  as  iMorey  Hill,  and  the  Andover  name  was  aban- 
doned. Portions  of  this  section  have  since  been  known  at  vari- 
ous times  as  Connor's  Hill  and  Jonathan  Cillev's  Hill,  but  the 


Location  and  Topography.  361 

best  known  name  for  the  entire  locality  has  been  for  many  years 
Boston  Hill.  The  name  has  been  the  subject  for  speculation  for 
many  years,  but  thus  far  no  authentic  reason  has  been  given  for 
adopting  the  name  Boston.  There  are  ample  reasons  for  calling 
this  locality  Connor's  Hill,  but  the  successful  change  of  a 
geographical  name  is  a  slow  process. 

The  eminence  directh'  south  of  Boston  Hill  and  lying  on  both 
sides  of  the  dividing  line  between  Andover  and  Salisbury  has 
long  been  known  as  Raccoon  Hill.  The  origin  of  this  name  has 
always  been  in  doubt,  although  the  subject  of  much  guess  work. 
One  of  the  finest  drives  of  the  vicinity  is  from  the  eastward  over 
the  road  crossing  this  hill  on  the  town  line.  The  views  to  the 
north  and  west  are  the  best  in  this  section. 

Tucker  Mountain  is  a  locality  on  the  southeast  slope  of  a  spur 
of  the  Ragged  ^Mountain  foothills  and  is  reached  by  the  road 
from  East  Andover  village  past  the  old  poor  farm  and  through 
the  Pass  to  Hill.  The  neighborhood  was  originally  settled  by  the 
Tucker  and  True  families. 

The  prominent  peak  lying  easterly  from  East  Andover  village 
affords  a  fine  prospect  from  its  summit,  and  at  one  time  was  a 
popular  resort  for  lovers  of  attractive  scenery.  It  has  been 
known  under  a  variety  of  names.  First  as  Blake's  Hill,  from 
Thomas  Blake,  an  early  resident  on  its  eastern  slope ;  afterward 
as  Corliss  Hill,  from  Peletiah  Corliss,  whose  house  was  situated 
on  a  lower  slope  on  the  west  side ;  again  as  Robie  Hill,  from  Paine 
R.  Robie,  a  later  resident  on  the  east  side ;  later  and  at  the  pres- 
ent time  as  Artist  Hill. 

The  broad  ridge  spreading  away  to  the  northward  from  Artist 
Hill  was,  early  in  the  19th  century  and  later,  called  Wicopy  Hill, 
from  the  scattering  growth  of  Wicopy  {Dirca  palustris)  bushes 
found  there.  The  inner  bark  of  this  shrub  is  very  pliable  and 
tough,  and  the  neighboring  farmers  were  accustomed  to  send 
their  boys  to  this  locality  for  bark  to  be  used  as  bag  string  and 
for  other  purposes,  for  which  we  now  use  hemp  or  cotton  twine. 
The  writer  has  used  this  bark  in  tying  together  the  stalks  of 
tobacco  plants  in  the  process  of  curing. 

The  height  in  the  northeast  section  of  the  town,  over  which 
runs  the  eastern  road  to  Hill,  has  long  been  known  as  Cilley  Hill, 
from  Dea.  Sam  Cillev,  an  earlv  settler  on  the  hill.     The  view 


•{<;-j  History  op  Andover. 

to  the  cast  and  s(»ii1h  from  the  suinniit  will  well  pay  for  the  hard 
climb. 

The  excellent  lai-m  of  Capt.  Caleb  Marston  marked  the  habit- 
al)le  sninmit  of  a  notable  hill  at  the  eastern  end  of  the  town, 
known  as  Marston  Hill,  from  the  family  that  for  many  years 
occupied  the  farm.  From  this  ontlook  is  o1)tained  the  best  view 
in  this  vicinity  of  "Webster  Lake,  the  npper  ^lerrimack  valley, 
the  Winnipesaukee  Lake  region  and  the  hill  country  to  the  east- 
ward. 

RIVERS    AND    BROOKS. 

The  Blackwater  River,  which  at  different  times  has  been  called, 
but  not  locally,  Contoocook  Branch  or  Contooeook  North  Branch, 
is  formed  at  Cilleyville  by  the  junction  of  the  streams  flowing 
from  Pleasant  pond  in  New  London  and  Eagle  pond  in  Wilmot 
and  by  Quickwater  brook,  flowing  easterly  through  the  village  of 
Wibnot  Centre. 

The  volume  of  water  is  materially  increased  by  the  stream 
which  flows  through  the  Bachelder  or  Fellows  meadow  and  enters 
the  river  below  the  Cilleyville  dam ;  by  the  outlet  from  Bradley 
pond,  which  enters  the  river  a  little  above  the  Seavey  bridge  at 
Andover  Centre ;  by  the  waste  from  Horseshoe  pond,  and  by  the 
great  brook  from  Elbow  pond. 

The  general  course  of  the  river  in  Andover  is  easterly  until  it 
reaches  a  point  near  the  farm  of  C.  J.  White,  whence  it  follows 
a  southerly  direction  through  Salisbury  and  Webster,  joining  the 
Contoocook  about  two  and  a  half  miles  northeast  of  Contooeook 
village  in  Hopkinton. 

The  river  water  is  clear,  but  when  viewed  in  the  direction  of 
the  bottom  it  is  apparently  qiTite  dark  colored.  This  appearance 
is  evidently  caused  by  the  dark  sediment  brought  down  from  the 
muddy  bottoms  of  Eagle  pond,  Cilleyville  bogs  and  the  quiet 
pools  about  Wilmot  Flat  and  deposited  on  the  river  bed. 

Kearsarge  brook,  increased  by  the  small  stream  from  ]\Iorey 
pond,  flows  from  the  Bachelder  or  Fellows  meadow,  northward 
into  the  Blackwater  river  below  the  Cilleyville  dam. 

The  inlet  of  Cole  or  Mompe.y  pond,  now  the  property  of  the 
Ragged  ]\Iountain  Fish  and  Game  Club,  has  long  been  known 
as  Trout  brook.  The  outlet  of  this  pond  flowing  south  into  the 
Blackwater  river,  is  known  as  Thompson  brook. 


Location  and  Topography.  363 

The  Tirrill  brook  rises  from  the  springs  and  ravines  of  Mom- 
pey  hill,  north  of  Vivian  S.  Qnimby's  residence,  and  flowing 
southerly  crosses  the  road  at  the  foot  of  Tirrill  hill,  and  empties 
into  Blackwater  river.  This  stream  furnished  the  power  for 
the  small  repair  shop  of  Stephen  Scales. 

The  inlet  of  Bradley  pond  rises  in  the  eastern  slopes  of  Kear- 
sarge,  flows  east,  then  due  north  into  the  pond,  and  is  known  as 
Bradley  brook.  The  outlet  of  the  pond  known  as  Eastman 
brook  carries  the  water  power  for  the  hame  shop  and  enters  the 
Blackwater  river  a  few  rods  above  the  Seavey  bridge. 

The  Mitchell  brook  rises  on  the  southeastern  slopes  of  Ragged 
Mountain  and  flows  south,  crossing  the  road  east  of  the  town 
house,  and  passes  through  the  Quimby  meadow  to  the  river. 

Mountain  brook  rises  high  in  the  foothills  of  Ragged  Moun- 
tain, near  the  southern  boundary  of  Hill,  flows  south  through 
picturesque  gorges  and  deep  woods,  and  forms  the  inlet  to  Elbow 
pond  or  Echo  lake.  On  this  brook,  far  up  toward  the  town  line, 
is  found  the  charming  Mountain  cascade,  the  finest  in  the  moun- 
tain district. 

The  outlet  of  Elbow  pond  is  known  as  Great  brook,  which  in 
a  winding,  leisurely  way  finds  its  way  across  the  great  plains 
to  the  river. 

The  Severance  brook  flows  westerly  through  the  valley  between 
Boston  and  Raccoon  hills,  and  finds  its  way  to  the  river. 

Morey  brook  formerly  flowed  from  the  northeast  base  of  Bos- 
ton hill  towards  Highland  Lake,  but  in  later  years  it  seems  to 
be  lost  in  the  stagnant  waters  of  a  swamp. 

Bailey  brook  rises  at  Robie  spring,  on  the  southeast  part  of 
Boston  hill,  flows  through  the  Bailey  farm  and  the  Brown 
meadow  and  loses  itself  in  Morey  brook  and  the  swamp. 

Tilton  brook  rises  in  the  valley  northeast  of  Taunton  hill,  and 
flows  into  Highland  Lake.  This  stream  is  noted  for  its  num- 
erous small  cascades  and  waterfalls.  The  most  prominent  of 
these  is  known  as  Silver  Falls,  a  most  attractice  feature  in  the 
fern-decked,  wooded  dell.  The  remains  of  the  first  dam  on  this 
stream,  built  by  Jonathan  Tilton,  are  still  to  be  seen  just  above 
Silver  Falls. 

Mill  brook,  the  outlet  of  Highland  Lake,  has  played  an  impor- 
tant role  in  the  development  of  the  town.     It  furnished  the 


304  History  of  Andover. 

wjitcr  power  for  the  first  sawmill  and  the  first  gristmill,  and  has 
turned  the  wheels  of  several  other  mills  on  its  way  to  the  lower 
levels.  The  name  is  applied  to  that  section  of  the  stream  be- 
tween the  lake  and  Aiken's  mill.  Between  Aiken's  mill  and 
Webster  Lake,  into  which  it  flows,  it  is  known  as  Sucker  brook. 
The  outlet  of  Webster  Lake  flows  easterly,  past  several  mills, 
into  the  Pemigewasset  River. 

PONDS. 

IMorey  or  Runaway  Pond.  This  small  body  of  water  is  sit- 
uated on  the  east  side  of  the  north  shoulder  of  Kearsarge  ]\Ioun- 
tain,  in  the  first  range,  verj^  near  the  Wilmot  line.  It  has  no 
appreciable  inlet  and  at  present  the  outlet  is  quite  small  and 
joins  the  Bachelder  or  Fellows  meadow,  a  small  brook  flowing 
northward  from  the  Brown  valley  to  form  the  ^Mountain  brook. 

Nether  or  Bradley  Pond  or  Eastman  Lake.  This  pond,  sit- 
uated at  the  northeast  base  of  Kearsarge  Mountain  and  mainly 
on  lots  25  and  27  W.,  in  the  first  range,  was  known  on  the 
early  maps  as  Nether  pond,  but  locally  and  for  more  than  sev- 
enty-five years  as  Bradley  pond.  IMore  than  125  years  ago,  at 
a  point  near  the  present  site  of  the  dam  erected  by  the  hame 
company,  there  remained  some  traces  of  a  beaver  dam,  which 
must  have  flooded  a  wide  area.  On  the  desertion  or  destruction 
of  the  beaver  dam  the  northern  section  of  the  pond,  opposite  the 
present  residence  of  James  Fitzgerald.  Avas  drained  and  the  rich 
bottom  land  was  soon  covered  with  a  vigorous  growth  of  white 
pine,  ash,  red  maple  and  spruce.  From  1845  to  1860  a  heavy 
growth  of  white  pine  lumber  w^as  taken  off.  Many  of  the  trees 
measured  three  feet  or  more  at  the  butt  and  reached  a  height 
of  nearly  100  feet,  affording  in  many  instances  excellent  spars 
and  masts  for  use  in  New  England  shipyards.  When  the  pres- 
ent dam  was  built  the  deforested  timber  land  was  again  sub- 
merged and  the  pond  now  covers  about  the  same  area  as  in  the 
days  of  the  skillful  beaver. 

Bog  Pond  or  Cilleyville  Bog.  This  body  of  water  occupies, 
under  ordinary  conditions,  a  considerable  area  of  the  lowland 
between  Cilleyville  and  West  Andover.  The  water  from  Eagle 
pond  flows  slowly  through  this  shallow  and  muddy  pond,  which 
at  a  very  low  stage  of  water  is  little  more  than  a  narroAv,  slug- 
gish channel. 


Location  and  Topography.  365 

Cole  Pond.  This  small  body  of  water,  which  has  sometimes 
been  called  Mountain  and  Mompey  pond,  lies  about  half  a  mile 
north  of  the  turnpike  and  a  little  west  of  north  from  the  resi- 
dence of  John  Sanborn.  It  was  formerly  noted  as  a  trout  pond 
and  is  now  owned  by  the  Ragged  Mountain  Fish  and  Game 
Club.  This  pond  w^as  named  for  John  Cole,  a  hard-working  man 
who  raised  a  large  family  very  near  its  shores. 

Horseshoe  Pond.  This  pond  lies  between  the  residence  of 
Frank  Pettingill  and  Blackwater  River,  and  has  sometimes  been 
known  as  Blackwater  or  Mitchell's  pond.  It  has  no  apparent 
inlet  and  the  waste  at  high  water  finds  its  way  to  the  nearby 
river.  The  railroad  divides  the  pond  by  means  of  an  embank- 
ment into  nearly  equal  parts. 

Mud  Pond.  This  small  pond  lies  at  the  foot  of  Ragged  ]\Ioun- 
tain,  nearly  a  mile  northwest  of  the  center  village.  The  name 
of  Mooseauket  (moose  place)  was  suggested  for  this  pond  by 
George  E.  Emery  about  thirty  years  ago. 

Attuck,  Adder  or  Seavey  Pond.  There  is  a  tradition  that  the 
most  used  name,  Adder,  is  a  corruption  of  Attuck,  the  Indian 
name  for  deer.  This  pond  is  situated  about  a  mile  and  a  quar- 
ter north  northeast  from  the  center  village.  The  bottom  is 
muddy  and  the  western  shore  is  marshy.  It  has  no  important 
inlet  and  the  small  outlet  stream  finds  its  way  easterly  into  the 
same  water  course  that  drains  Elbow  pond. 

Elbow  Pond.  This  sheet  of  w^ater  lies  nearly  easterly  from 
the  former  residence  of  Samuel  Swett,  and  was  probably  named 
from  the  peculiar  configuration  of  the  shore  lines.  At  a  point 
near  the  south  shore  an  echo  may  be  plainly  heard,  and  from 
this  circumstance  many  visitors  have  called  the  pond  Echo  lake, 
but  the  local  preference  is  apparently  still  for  the  original  name. 
The  inlet  of  this  pond  is  known  as  JMountain  brook  and  flows 
southerly  down  through  the  foothills  of  Ragged  Mountain.  The 
outlet  flows  southerly  and  finds  its  way  across  the  Plains  to 
Blackwater  River. 

The  falls  on  Mountain  brook  were  found  by  the  selectmen  in 
1864  to  be  about  nine  rods  south  of  the  nortliern  line  of  Andover. 

Loon  Pond  or  Highland  Lake.  This  beautiful  bod}^  of  water 
lies  immediately  west  of  the  village  of  East  Andover  and  is  an 
important  element  of  the  charming  scenery  of  that  locality.     It 


800  IIlSTOHY    OF    AXDOVER. 

was  originally  eallod  Loon  pond,  because  it  was  a  favorite  haunt 
and  nesting  place  of  that  peculiar  water  fowl.  These  birds 
frequently  passed  to  and  from  this  pond  to  Bradley  pond,  and 
for  many  years  the  old  residents,  when  they  heard  the  startling 
cry  of  the  loon  in  its  rapid  flight  between  these  ponds,  felt  that 
a  rain  storm  was  certainly  coming.  For  nearly  half  a  century 
this  pond  has  been  known  as  Highland  Lake.  The  outlet  stream 
of  this  pond  flows  easterly  into  Webster  Lake. 

Webster  Lake.  This  attractive  element  of  New  Hampshire 
scenery  was  the  largest  pond  within  the  borders  of  the  original 
town  of  Andover.  On  the  early  maps  it  was  known  as  Great 
pond  or  Chance  pond.  It  lies  in  that  portion  of  the  original 
town  of  Andover  that  was  taken  to  form  a  part  of  the  town  of 
Franklin.  In  a  speech  made  by  Daniel  Webster  at  a  meeting 
in  the  oak  grove  near  Aiken  Park,  by  the  lakeside,  in  1851,  the 
great  expounder  of  the  constitution  said:  ''Much  has  been 
written  and  said  of  the  beauties  of  Lake  Como,  but  that  sheet 
of  water  is  no  more  beautiful  than  the  one  on  whose  shores  I 
now  stand." 

Since  that  period  it  has  been  generally  known  as  Webster 
Lake.  The  outflow  of  this  lake  creates  a  valuable  water  power 
in  the  western  part  of  the  city  of  Franklin  and  finally  empties 
into  the  Pemigewasset  River. 

Call's  or  Flaghole  Pond.  This  small  pond  is  gradually  grow- 
ing less  and  the  decreasing  amount  of  water  and  the  steady 
progress  of  filling  up  from  the  bottom  promises  in  the  not  dis- 
tant future  to  remove  this  feature  of  the  landscape. 

Near  the  boundary  line  between  Andover  and  Hill,  and  nearly 
north  of  the  former  residence  of  Samuel  Swett,  lie  two  small 
ponds,  generally  known  as  Lone  and  Weeks'  ponds.  From  the 
various  reports  on  the  location  of  this  boundary  line,  it  would 
seem  that  for  many  years  it  has  been  uncertain  whether  these 
ponds  were  in  Hill  or  in  Andover. 


PHYSICIANS   WHO   HAVE    SETTLED    IX   AXDOVER. 

The  first  resident  physiciau  in  Andover  was  Jonathan  Rob- 
bins.  He  was  here  in  1788  and  lived  at  East  Andover,  near  the 
fork  of  the  road  afterwards  known  as  Barnard's  Corner,  above 
Walter  B.  Dnrgin's  house. 

Dr.  Benjamin  Howe  also  lived  here  in  1788  and  resided  in  the 
western  part  of  the  town. 

Between  1790  and  1800  a  negro  known  as  "Jnmbo, "  who 
claimed  to  have  lived  among  the  Indians  in  Maine,  came  to  Flag- 
hole  and  earned  his  living  for  several  years  by  treating  the 
minor  ills  of  his  neighbors  and  of  some  people  in  the  neighbor- 
ing towns,  with  decoctions  of  roots  and  herbs. 

Dr.  Silas  Barnard  came  to  Andover  about  1790,  perhaps  in 
1789,  and  remained  until  his  death,  June  25,  1795.  He  came 
here  from  Bolton,  Mass.,  and  settled  on  the  place  at  East  Andover 
near  the  fork  of  the  road,  o^Tied  in  1880  by  Elbridge  G.  Chase. 
This  locality  has  since  been  known  as  Barnard's  Corner.  He 
owned  a  good  one-story  house,  which  w^as  taken  down  in  1831 
and  a  part  of  the  timber  was  used  in  building  the  house  owned  for 
a  long  time  by  Caleb  Cross.  Doctor  Barnard  was  a  skilful  phy- 
sician and  highly  esteemed  as  a  citizen.  He  died  suddenly  at 
the  house  of  Captain  Sargent  in  New  Chester  (now  Hill),  where 
he  had  called  to  see  a"  patient. 

Dr.  Jacob  Bailey  ]\Ioore  began  the  practice  of  medicine  in 
Andover  in  1796.  He  was  a  successful  physician  and  a  very 
popular  citizen.  He  held  several  town  offices  and  was  active  in 
all  matters  affecting  the  welfare  of  the  town.  He  was  especially 
interested  in  music  and  his  children  inherited  a  strong  tendency 
in  that  direction.  In  1812  he  was  appointed  a  surgeon's  mate 
in  the  11th  Regiment,  U.  S.  Infantry.  The  life  in  the  army  was 
too  severe  for  his  health  and  he  resigned  in  the  latter  part  of 
the  year.  He  lived  but  a  short  time  after  reaching  his  home  here, 
dying  January  10.  1813. 

Dr.  Silas  Merrill  came  to  Andover  soon  after  the  death  of  Doc- 
tor ]\roore   and  resided  on   Taunton   Hill.     He   mai-i'ied   Eliza-

beth  Haseltine  of  Epsom.  He  moved  to  Illinoi.s  in  1837,  where  he 
died,  leaving  one  son  and  two  daughters.  His  eldest  daughter 
married  Caius  Jenkins,  who  was  killed  in  Kansas  by  Senator 
"Jim"  Lane.  Doctor  ]\Ierrill  built  the  house  on  Taunton  Hill 
where  William  L.  Bennett  now  lives.  After  Doctor  Merrill  left 
town  the  house  was  owned  and  occupied  successively  by  Doctor 
Hanson  and  by  Doctor  Weymouth. 

Doctor  Tilton  Elkins  studied  medicine  with  Dr.  J.  B.  Moore 
and  began  the  practice  of  his  profession  at  West  Andover  in  1816. 
He  enjoyed  a  wide  practice  for  many  years  and  was  an  active 
and  respected  citizen.  He  retired  from  active  professional  work 
in  1858  or  1859  and  went  to  reside  with  his  daughter  in  Des 
Moines,  Iowa,  where  he  died  April  23,  1873. 

Doctor  Kittredge  practised  a  short  time  in  Andover.  He  died 
February  26,  1819. 

James  Harvey  McClary  Haseltine  was  the  son  of  Rev.  Eben- 
ezer  Haseltine  and  was  born  in  Epsom,  X.  H.,  September  18,  1800. 
His  mother  was  Margaret,  the  daughter  of  ^Nla.j.  Andrew  ]\IcClary 
of  Epsom,  who  was  killed  at  the  close  of  the  fight  at  Bunker 
Hill.  Soon  after  the  death  of  his  father  in  1814,  young  Hasel- 
tine came  to  Andover  to  live  with  his  eldest  sister,  who  married 
Dr.  Silas  Merrill.  After  attending  the  military  school  at  Nor- 
wich, Vt.,  Haseltine  studied  medicine  with  Doctor  Merrill  and 
began  the  practice  of  his  profession  in  this  town.  He  was  at  the 
medical  school  of  Dartmouth  College  in  1825.  He  was  very  suc- 
cessful in  his  work  and  remained  here  until  1829,  when  he  moved 
to  Henrietta,  N.  Y.,  where  he  practised"  for  forty-two  years. 
Wliile  in  Andover  he  married  Cyrena,  daughter  of  Capt.  James 
Tucker.  He  had  one  son  and  one  daughter,  who  lived  in  Roches- 
ter, N.  Y.  Doctor  Haseltine  died  in  Rochester,  X.  Y.,  January 
6,  1874. 

Doctor  James  M.  Buzzell  was  a  physician  residing  on  Taun- 
ton Hill  in  1833.  He  afterwards,  probably  in  1836,  moved  to 
Lewiston,  Me.,  where,  in  1883,  he  was  the  dean  of  the  Eclectic 
Medical  College.  He  was  a  brother  of  Rev.  Alvah  Buzzell.  once 
a  resident  of  Andover.  Doctor  Buzzell  was  a  graduate  of  Dart- 
mouth College  ]\Iedieal  School  in  1837.  He  died  in  Portland, 
Me.,  September  2,  1891. 

Dr.  Jacob  Clements  Hanson  graduated  at  Dartmouth  ^Medical

School  in  1839.  He  was  a  physician  in  Andover  until  1843, 
residing  on  Taunton  Hill  in  the  house  afterwards  occupied  by 
his  successor,  Dr.  H.  A.  Weymouth.  Doctor  Hanson  died  at 
Great  Falls,  N.  H.,  July,  1875. 

Dr.  J.  Allen  Tibbetts  resided  on  Taunton  Hill  and  practised 
medicine  in  this  and  neighboring  towns  for  at  least  three  years. 
The  exact  length  of  his  residence  is  not  now  known,  but  he  was 
taxed  here  in  1843  and  1844.  Later  he  was  the  owner  of  a  drug 
store  in  Manchester,  where  he  died  in  1866. 

A  Doctor  Simpson  practised  in  town  a  short  time  during  the 
residence  of  Doctor  Tibbetts,  living  at  the  east  end  of  the  town. 

Austin  S.  Durkee  was  for  several  years  a  resident  of  Ohio, 
where  he  was  a  postmaster  under  the  administration  of  Van 
Buren.  He  lived  a  short  time  in  Vermont.  After  coming  to 
New  Hampshire  he  practised  medicine  as  a  botanic  physician, 
residing  in  Andover,  Bristol,  New  Hampton,  ^Manchester,  Ply- 
mouth and  Franklin.  He  settled  at  East  Andover  about  1846 
and  resided  there  about  fourteen  years.  About  1870  he  went  to 
Franklin,  where  he  died  February  24.  1881. 

The  following  is  a  brief  tribute  from  one  of  the  most  noted 
physicians  and  surgeons  in  New  Hampshire: 

Henry  Augustus  Weymouth  was  born  October  14,  1820,  in  that 
portion  of  Gilmanton  now  known  as  Belmont.  He  had  a  com- 
mon school  education  before  he  entered  on  the  study  of  medicine 
with  Dr.  Nahum  Wight  of  Gilmanton.  He  attended  lectures  at 
the  Vermont  Medical  School  at  Woodstock  and  graduated  in 
1843.  He  came  immediately  to  Andover  and  established  himself 
at  Taunton  Hill^  where  many  of  the  former  physicians  had  lived, 
taking  the  place  of  Dr.  J.  C.  Hanson. 

No  man  has  known  the  town  and  its  people  for  two  generations 
so  intimately  as  he.  He  has  been  a  part  of  its  life — social,  indus- 
trial, educational,  political  and  religious — during  all  that  period. 
The  list  of  infants  whom  he  has  welcomed  to  the  world  numl)ers 
about  2,000.  Many  of  these  he  has  watched  over  through  child- 
hood and  youth.  He  has  seen  them  marry  and  has  cared  for 
their  own  litle  ones,  and  has  finally  stood  beside  their  deathbeds. 

Doctor  Weymouth  has  been  the  typical  family  doctor.  His 
first  and  absorbing  interest  has  been  in  the  practice  of  his  pro- 
fession.    In  summer's  heat  and  winter's  cold,  by  day  and  by

night,  he  has  been  ready  to  answer  calls,  and  at  eighty-seven 
years  of  age  he  is  still  ready.  It  is  only  a  few  years  since  that 
he  got  out  of  bed  one  winters'  night  and  rode  several  miles  to  a 
hill  farm  to  see  a  child  with  croup.  Approaching  the  place,  the 
deep  snow  became  impassable  for  horse  and  sleigh.  The  doctor 
left  the  horse  in  a  barn  nearby  and  plodded  ahead  on  foot.  His 
fur  coat  becoming  burdensome,  he  dropped  it  and  pushed  on. 
Reaching  the  house  he  cared  for  the  patient,  and  in  the  morning 
returned  to  another  day's  work. 

Doctor  Weymouth  stands  for  much  that  is  best  in  the  medical 
profession.  In  figure,  tall  and  massive,  with  a  strong  face ;  in 
speech,  deliberate,  direct  and  plain  to  bluntness,  he  makes  an 
impression  of  sincerity  which  wins  confidence.  His  thinking  is 
without  evasions,  dealing  with  the  substance  of  things  in  com- 
mon sense  fashion.  He  arrives  at  conclusions  without  haste 
and  holds  them  with  tenacity.  His  cheerful  spirit  and  keen  sense 
of  humor  have  enabled  him  to  appreciate  all  the  vicissitudes  of  an 
active  life  in  the  country,  and  have  carried  the  balm  of  hope  and 
the  stimulus  of  a  good  story  to  many  a  weary,  suffering  patient 
in  this  community. 

His  fellow-townsmen  recognize  and  value  his  ripe  judgment. 
They  have  always  counted  on  his  help  and  leadership  in  every 
good  movement,  whether  for  temperance,  or  clean  politics,  or 
social  or  religious  betterment.  He  was  moderator  of  the  town 
meeting  for  thirty-two  years,  town  clerk  five  years,  represent- 
ative in  the  legislature  for  three  terms  and  trustee  of  Proctor 
Academy.  He  received  an  honorary  M.  D.  from  Dartmouth  Col- 
lege in  1870. 

With  robust  health  enabling  him  to  make  light  of  hardships ; 
with  a  length  of  consecutive  service  such  as  is  granted  to  very 
few;  with  absolute  devotion  to  the  work  of  his  calling,  the  value 
of  his  contribution,  during  these  sixty-four  years,  to  the  life  of 
Andover  can  not  be  estimated. 

A  Doctor  Clark  practised  for  a  short  time  at  West  Andover 
about  1847.     His  subsequent  career  is  not  known. 

Harry  E.  Mygatt.  a  graduate  of  the  Darmouth  ]\Iedical  School 
in  1896.  w^as  a  practitioner  in  Andover  for  a  few  years  and  after-

ings. He  came  to  Andover  in  1816  or  1817,  where  he  had  an 
office  at  one  time  in  the  "old  Mansion  House,"  then  owned  by 
his  father.  This  house  stood  where  Mrs.  George  H.  IMorrill  lived 
in  1906.  He  was  apparently  a  better  teacher  than  lawyer  or 
business  man.  His  greatest  success  in  the  legal  field  during  his 
residence  in  Andover  grew  out  of  a  horse  trade.  He  bought  of 
a  noted  jockey  in  Goffstown  a  once  famous  stallion,  "Bullrock," 
giving  his  note  for  $400,  but  the  horse  proved  to  be  impotent, 
utterly  worthless.  Suit  was  brought  to  collect  the  note.  Slack 
was  his  own  advocate  and  set  up  such  a  vigorous  and  eloquent 
defense  that  he  not  only  proved  the  falsity  of  the  adage  that 
"the  client  who  manages  his  o^vn  ease  has  a  fool  for  a  lawyer," 
but  won  his  case  with  flying  colors.  In  1820-21  he  was  located 
in  Goffstown  and  in  1822  he  was  a  lawyer  in  Pembroke.  He 
soon  abandoned  the  law  and  opened  a  school  in  Lebanon  at  the 
East  village.  From  Lebanon  he  went  to  Georgeto^vu,  D.  C, 
where  he  maintained  a  very  successful  school  for  a  number  of 
years.  He  finally  purchased  "Evergreen  Plantation,"  near 
Drainsville,  Fairfax  Co.,  Va.,  where  he  resided  the  remainder  of 
his  life. 

ELKINS. 

Jeremiah  Elkius  was  born  at  Andover,  N.  H.,  August  31,  1795. 
He  w^as  educated  for  the  bar  and  practised  law  at  Washington, 
D,  C,  for  a  considerable  time.  He  returned  to  New  Hampshire 
in  1835,  and  practised  law  at  Guilford.     He  removed  to  Barn-

stead  in  1836,  where  he  was  elected  to  the  state  legislature  for 
three  years  in  succession.  He  was  elected  clerk  of  the  house  in 
1836.  On  the  4th  of  March,  1837.  he  was  appointed  captain  of 
the  "Jackson  Guards"  in  the  Tenth  Regiment.  In  1838.  he  was 
appointed  judge  advocate  of  the  Second  Brigade,  X.  H.  Militia, 
and  retained  the  office  until  1845.  He  was  appointed  register  of 
probate  for  Belknap  County  in  1841.  when  the  county  was 
formed,  and  served  with  great  acceptance  for  ten  years.  He  re- 
moved from  Barnstead  to  Meredith  in  1846  and  died  there, 
greatly  respected,  in  February.  1855. 

BUTTERFIELD. 

Samuel  Butterfield  was  born  in  Goffstown  in  December.  1791. 
He  studied  law  and  began  the  practice  of  his  profession  in  Ep- 
ping  in  1817.  He  remained  in  Epping.  save  for  a  short  period 
at  Goflt'stown.  until  he  settled  at  Andover  Center  in  1823. 
He  opened  an  office  as  an  attorney-at-law.  but  he  soon  became 
interested  in  many  other  enterprises  besides  his  profession, 
which  was  still  his  chief  interest.  He  bent  his  energies  solely 
to  the  Avork  in  hand,  taking  up  new  schemes  as  those  in 
hand  were  put  in  order.  He  was  never  idle.  He  was  the  only 
law;^'er  in  town.  He  built  and  for  many  years  owned  the  tav- 
ern, which  in  the  era  of  stages  and  freight  teams  flourished  under 
the  management  of  William  Wallcer  and  Henry  and  Simeon  S. 
Moulton.  He  owned  the  principal  store,  a  flourishing  cooper 
shop  and  several  farms  in  the  vicinity.  He  and  his  wife  were 
interested  in  all  the  good  works  of  the  neighborhood  and  of 
the  town  and  they  both  were  largely  instrumental  in  establish- 
ing the  Andover  Academy. 

He  was  postmaster  at  the  Center  during  the  administrations 
of  Jackson  and  Van  Buren ;  representative  in  the  legislature  in 
1846  and  1847 ;  member  of  the  executive  council  in  1851  and 
1852  and  president  of  the  State  Capital  Bank  in  Concord  from 
its  organization  until  his  death.  He  was  a  man  of  great  en- 
ergy' and  industr}^  and  by  these  qualities  mainly  he  compelled 
success.  He  married  young,  and  before  he  was  twenty-five  years 
old  he  found  himself  a  widower  with  three  children  and  at  that 
time  he  had  not  acquired  his  profession. 

He  moved  from  Andover  to  Concord  in  1855  and  died  in  Con- 
cord Julv  4.  1860.

BRYANT. 

Napoleon  B.  Bryant  was  born  at  East  Andover,  where  he 
spent  his  early  life  getting  such  school  training  as  was  afforded 
at  the  district  school,  one  term  of  private  school  and  a  few  terms 
of  Tyler's  school  in  Franklin.  By  constant  effort  he  secured 
the  necessary  preparation  and  took  the  prescribed  course  at 
"Waterville  College  in  Maine.  At  the  age  of  twenty -two  he  began 
the  study  of  law  w'ith  Nesmith  and  Pike  at  Franklin,  graduated 
from  the  Harvard  Law  School  in  1848  and  entered  upon  the 
practice  of  his  chosen  profession  at  Bristol  the  same  year.  At 
the  age  of  twenty-five  he  was  one  of  the  commissioners  of  Graf- 
ton County  and  at  twenty-nine  had  become  county  solicitor. 
From  1853  to  1855  he  resided  at  Plymouth  and  secured  a  large 
and  lucrative  practice.  In  1855  he  moved  to  Concord  and  es- 
tablished the  firm  of  N.  B.  Bryant  and  Lyman  T.  Flint.  In  1856 
he  joined  the  ranks  of  the  newborn  Republican  party  and  con- 
tributed to  its  final  success  in  no  small  degree  by  his  eloquent 
enthusiasm  on  the  stump  in  all  parts  of  the  state.  In  1857  he 
was  elected  to  the  legislature  and  was  re-elected  in  1858  and 
'59,  serving  the  latter  year  as  speaker. 

In  1860  he  was  a  delegate  to  the  Cliicaso  convention  and  after 


Lawyers.  377 

the  election  that  year  took  up  the  practice  of  his  profession  in 
Boston,  where  his  success,  professionally  and  financially,  was 
very  gratifying.  After  a  long  life  of  active  but  varied  experi- 
ence, he  retired  from  active  pursuits  in  his  profession  to  his 
native  village,  where,  after  several  years  of  quiet  enjoyment, 
he  suddenly,  at  the  close  of  a  characteristic  talk  to  the  young 
people  of  the  village,  passed  to  the  realms  of  the  great  beyond. 
At  his  best,  he  easily  stood  in  the  front  rank  of  eloquent  men  in 
his  native  state. 

HAMLIN. 

Wolcott  Hamlin  Avas  educated  in  the  common  schools  and  in 
Kent's  Hill  Seminary  in  Maine,  and  taught  school  for  several 
terms.  He  came  to  Andover  Center  as  a  merchant,  but  after- 
wards studied  law  with  Samuel  Butterfield  and  was  admitted 
to  the  IMerrimack  County  bar  in  1852.  He  moved  to  Dover  and 
became  solicitor  for  Strafford  Co.,  resigning  that  office  in  1861. 
He  was  the  engrossing  clerk  of  the  U.  S.  Senate,  1861-70;  mem- 
ber N.  H.  legislature  1866-67,  and  supervisor  internal  revenue, 
1870-72.  In  1878  he  moved  to  Amherst,  Mass.,  and  organized 
the  law  firm  of  Hamlin  and  Eeilly.  He  was  the  Prohibition 
candidate  for  governor  of  ^lassachusetts  in  1892  and  the  candi- 
date for  attorney  general  of  Massachusetts  in  1898.  Mr.  Ham- 
lin was  a  man  of  versatile  attainments,  genial,  enthusiastic  and 
a  vigorous  and  zealous  campaign  orator.  He  died  in  Amherst, 
Mass.,  October  23,  1898. 

SHIRLEY. 

John  ]Major  Shirley  (see  family)  had  the  educational  advan- 
tages of  the  district  schools  of  Sanbornton  and  Northfield  and 
of  a  few  terms  at  the  academy  of  Dyer  H.  Sanborn  at  Sanborn- 
ton Bridge.  He  began  the  study  of  law  with  Cate  and  Rogers 
at  Sanbornton  Bridge,  May,  1850,  and  was  admitted  to  the  Bel- 
knap County  Bar,  September  13,  1854.  In  October,  1855,  he 
came  to  Andover  and  formed  a  partnership  with  Samuel  Butter- 
field,  which  continued  until  the  death  of  the  latter  in  1860.  Mr. 
Shirley  soon  established  a  large  practice  and  became  an  influ- 
ential citizen  in  this  section  of  the  state.  He  was  postmaster 
1855-59;  representative  1859-60;  superintendent  of  schools 
most  of  the  period  from  1858  to  1865;  agent  of  town  for  en- 


87 s  History  of  Andover, 

rollment  of  troops  1862-65,  and  delegate  to  the  constitutional 
convention  in  1876.  He  was  reporter  of  the  N.  H.  Supreme 
Court  1871-76.  He  received  the  honorary  degree  of  A.  M. 
from  Dartmouth  College  in  1865.  In  1879  he  published  a  crit- 
iccil  examination  of  the  "Dartmouth  College  Causes."  in  which 
he  exhibited  great  power  of  analysis  and  concentration. 

Mr.  Shirley's  work  as  a  lawyer  was  chiefly  notal)le  for  the 
care  with  which  he  prepared  all  his  eases.  While  much  of  his 
success  was  due  undoubtedly  to  his  remarkable  diction,  some- 
times rising  to  impressive  elocution,  his  chief  reliance  was  in  the 
preparation  of  his  cases,  with  each  important  point  supported 
by  numerous  citations  from  the  wisdom  of  the  courts.  His  fa- 
cility in  the  use  of  sarcasm  and  invective,  sometimes  crude  and 
often  employed  to  compel  attention,  was  almost  always  aston- 
ishing or  impressive,  and  is  nowhere  better  illustrated  than  in  his 
reports  as  superintendent  of  schools,  1858-65. 

He  had  a  cordial  hatred  for  all  shams  and  lost  few  oppor- 
tunities for  expressing  his  opinion  in  that  connection.  ]\Ir. 
Shirley's  death  before  reaching  the  probable  height  of  his  pro- 
fessional career  was  a  distinct  loss  to  the  community  and  to  the 

state.

Whitcher.  was  born  in  Andover,  February  26,  1829.  Educated

PROCTOR. 

Frank  "W.  Proctor  was  a  student  at  Dartmouth  College,  but 
finished  his  studies  at  Cornell  University,  where  he  graduated 
in  1873.  He  studied  law  with  Mr.  Shirley  and  was  admitted  to 
practise  in  New  Hampshire  in  1876.  He  then  went  to  Kan- 
sas and  after  a  residence  there  of  two  or  three  years  returned 
to  Andover.  In  1882  he  went  to  Boston,  where,  in  association 
with  George  B.  Upham,  he  had  a  good  and  increasing  practice, 
until  ill  health  compelled  him  to  abandon  his  legal  pursuits. 
Since  that  period  he  has  become  interested  in  scientific  pursuits, 
more  recently  employing  all  the  time  that  his  health  would  per- 
mit in  the  study  of  meteorological  phenomena  in  the  vicinity  of 
his  residence  at  Fairhaven,  Mass.  Many  of  the  results  of  this 
work  have  appeared  in  valuable  papers  published  by  the  weather 
bureau  in  Washington,  D.  C.  In  connection  with  his  meteorolog- 
ical investigations  he  has  continued  his  studies  in  modern  lan- 
guages and  in  mathematics. 

CARR. 

John  P.  Carr  came  from  Enfield  to  Andover  with  his  parents

tered the  office  of  Mr.  Shirley  as  a  student  in  ]May,  1864.  He

MINISTERS. 

Rev.  Josiah  Badcock 

was  the  first  settled  minister  and  for  many  years  was  the  best 
exponent  of  learning  and  cultivation  in  the  town.  He  was  born 
in  Milton,  Mass.,  July  6,  1752 ;  graduated  from  Harvard  College 
in  1772,  and  was  engaged  in  teaching  and  probably  in  further 
study  for  the  next  four  years.  In  his  diar}-  he  wrote:  "Oct. 
1,  1776.  Went  to  ministers'  meeting  at  Epping  and  was  exam- 
ined by  them  and  received  their  approbation  to  preach  the 
gospel."  "Oct.  27  I  began  to  preach."  "Jan.  1,  1777,  prayed 
with  a  sick  man,  which  was  the  first  time  I  ever  prayed  with  the 
sick."  "August  11,  1778.  preached  in  Lynn.  Mass.,  and  many 
of  the  militia  were  sent  for  to  go  to  Newport  and  the  people  after 
meeting  met  to  get  men  for  the  army. ' ' 

On  February  7,  1780.  he  received  a  call  to  settle  in  Barring- 
ton  ;  a  similar  request  from  Wakefield  was  received  June  19, 
1780.    A  call  to  settle  in  Wendell  was  received  November  19, 

1780.  He  preached  in  Andover  for  the  first  time  August  19, 

1781,  and  remained  to  preach  for  several  weeks.  For  this  ser- 
vice the  town  paid  him  twelve  shillings.  He  returned  on  May 
26,  1782,  and  preached  several  times.  On  July  8,  1782,  he  wrote 
that  the  people  in  Andover  had  given  him  a  call  to  settle  with 
them  in  the  gospel  ministry.  He  was  ordained  with  the  usual 
formal  ceremonies  October  30,  1782  (see  Church  History,  pp. 
69-71),  and  continued  as  an  active  pastor  until  1809,  when  he 
resigned  and  was  formally  dismissed  by  action  of  a  council  on 
July  13,  1809.  He  remained  in  town,  living  on  his  farm  and 
carefully  attending  to  all  his  business  affairs  until  his  death.  De- 
cember 7,  1831.     He  was  familiarly  known  as  "Priest  Badcock." 

Mr.  Badcock  always  read  his  carefully  prepared  sermons,  but 
after  his  death  the  family  was  unable  to  find  a  single  complete 
sermon.  He  was  not  a  popular  pulpit  orator  and  the  people 
soon  found  many  excuses  for  absence  from  "meetings."  The 
payment  of  the  minister  tax  was  soon  considered  a  burden  and 


Ministers.  385 

it  was  no  small  source  of  the  minister's  unpopularity.  j\Ir.  Bad- 
cock  was  generally  a  kind  and  charitable  neighbor,  who  did  not 
limit  himself  to  simple  duty  in  the  kindly  offices  of  a  neighbor 
or  a  citizen.  In  the  collection  of  the  minister  tax.  however,  he 
believed  in  a  rigid  observance  of  the  law  and  would  recognize  no 
exceptions.  Several  cases  have  been  cited  when  the  parson 
rigidly  exacted  the  tax  from  impecunious  widows  whose  long 
suffering  husbands  had  been  unable  to  earn  the  poor  pittance  to 
help  out  the  preacher's  salary.  One  case  described  in  a  letter 
written  in  June,  1880,  by  a  former  citizen  and  clergyman  who 
knew  the  facts,  is  brieflj^  as  follows :  A  poor  but  worthy  man 
had  been  sick  for  nearly  two  j^ears  and  unable  to  pay  his  small 
tax.  Soon  after  he  died  Mr.  Badcock  demanded  the  tax.  The 
widow  explained  to  him  her  inability  to  pay  at  that  time,  that 
she  had  six  young  children  and  only  a  small  house,  two  acres  of 
land  and  a  cow,  which  was  essential  for  the  welfare  of  the  chil- 
dren ;  but  she  would  work  for  the  neighbors  and  earn  the  money 
to  pay  the  tax  if  he  would  give  her  a  little  time.  He  would  not 
relent,  but  sued  the  widow,  attached  and  sold  her  cow,  satisfied 
his  claim,  and  left  the  widow  and  her  children  to  their  fate. 
The  good  Samaritan  appeared,  however,  in  the  kind  neighbor, 
who  bid  off  the  cow  and  presented  it  to  the  widow,  whose  chil- 
dren again  enjoyed  their  daily  meal  of  hasty  pudding  and  milk. 

It  is  more  than  likely  that  such  instances  did  more  to  destroy 
his  influence  as  a  pastor  and  preacher  than  any  peculiarities  of 
style  or  rigidity  of  theology  in  the  pulpit.  It  was  also  urged  by 
many  people,  about  the  beginning  of  the  new  century,  that  he 
"had  never  claimed  any  personal  religious  experience."  and  at 
that  period  of  the  new  religious  awakening  this  objection  had 
great  weight  and  certainly  weakened  his  influence.  At  that  time 
many  believed  that  "preaching  for  pay  was  not  in  accordance 
with  Gospel  teaching." 

In  spite  of  the  smaller  criticisms  which  lose  nmeh  of  their 
force  when  filtered  through  the  years  of  the  last  century,  we  at 
this  day  are  compelled  to  recognize  in  the  first  minister  in  town 
a  faithful,  conscientious  and  hard-working  preacher,  a  good  citi- 
zen, morally  upright  in  all  his  dealings,  following  the  line  of  his 
duty  as  he  saw  it,  wherever  it  led,  with  unfailing  patience  and 
fortitude.    Of  his  ten  children   (see  family  data)   the  five  who

lived  to  maturity  were  worthy  sons  and  daughters  of  a  family 
trained  in  all  those  homely  but  essential  virtues  that  have  made 
the  country  life  of  New  England  the  model  school  for  good  citi- 
zens.

Maine  and  New  Hampshire.  His  first  visit  to  Andover  was  in 
1832,  M'hen  he  attended  the  yearly  meeting  of  that  date  at  East 
Andover.  He  was  ordained  in  June,  1832,  at  Barnstead.  He 
moved  to  East  Andover  in  1856  where  he  resided  for  many  years. 
In  August.  1861.  he  enlisted  in  the  Fourth  New  Hampshire  Regi- 
ment and  followed  the  fortunes  of  that  organization. 

He  assisted  in  forming  the  first  school  for  negroes  in  Florida

moving  factor  in  forming  the  first  Free  Will  Baptist  Church  in 
town,  at  the  Centre,  on  May  30,  1810.  He  preached  in  town  for 
several  years,  but  the  church  at  the  Centre  was  soon  scattered. 
He  became  interested  in  the  art  of  printing.  He  used  some  old 
type  and  a  press  of  his  own  construction  and  learned  to  print 
without  assistance ;  a  good  example  of  a  self -trained  printer, 
equal  to  any  task  from  that  of  editor  to  that  of  printer's  "devil." 
A  master  of  the  art  wrote :  ' '  His  was  a  remarkable  sample  and 
no  one  would  expect  such  neatness  but  from  a  regular  printer. ' ' 
In  1819  he  began  the  publication  of  the  Religious  Informer. 
In  the  same  year  he  published  a  book  with  the  following  title :

In  1820  Mr.  Chase  wrote  and  printed  a  poem  concerning  ' '  Uni-

"Huzza,  brave  boys, — loud  be  your  joys, 
Your  sins  shall  be  forgiven : 
Oh !  skip  and  sing !  our  God  and  King 
Will  bring  us  all  to  Heaven. 

Oh !  charming  news,  to  live  in  sin 

And  die  to  reign  with  Paul; 
'Tis  so  indeed,  for  Jesus  bled. 
To  save  the  devil  and  all."

Rev.  Nathan  Howard. 

Nathan,  son  of  Abiel  and  Kezia  (Bartlett)  Howard,  was  born 
IVIay  6,  1813.  He  graduated  from  the  Gihiianton  Theological 
Seminary  in  1842.  He  was  licensed  to  i^reach  by  the  Hopkin- 
ton  Association  April  26,  1842,  and  ordained  at  Andover  Center 
as  a  Congregationalist  May  23,  1843.  From  1843  to  1849  he 
preached  one  half  of  the  time  at  Andover  and  the  remainder  at 
Wilmot.  In  1850  he  devoted  all  his  time  to  the  church  in  An- 
dover. In  1851  he  was  at  Dan])ury.  From  1853  to  1856  he  was 
without  charge  and  resided  at  Danbury.  From  1856  to  1885  he 
was  at  Mechanicsburg,  Ohio ;  from  1885  to  1889  at  Urbana,  Ohio, 
and  from  1889  to  1891  he  was  at  Kingman,  Kan.  He  afterwards 
resided  in  Oklahoma.  Mr.  Howard  was  a  faithful,  patient  and 
conscientious  pastor  and  a  good  citizen.  He  was  more  popular 
with  the  older  members  of  the  community  than  with  the  younger 
people,  principally  because  the  latter  never  knew  the  man;  they 
only  saw  the  apparently  stern  and  serious  minister  and  super- 
intending school  committee.  Mr.  Howard  married  at  Pembroke 
March  19,  1844,  Mary,  daughter  of  Isaac  and  Mary  (Murray) 
Kinsman.     She  died  at  Mechanicsburg,  Ohio,  April  1,  1884. 

Rev.  Abner  Jones. 

In  1818  there  was  no  settled  minister  and  no  regularly  organ- 
ized church.  In  that  year  Elder  Abner  Jones  came  here  and  by 
his  unusual  eloquence  and  personal  influence  brought  about  a 
most  remarkable  revival  of  religious  interest.  It  resulted  in  the 
formation  of  a  church  which,  for  want  of  a  better  name,  was 
called  the  Christian  Baptist  Church.  One  hundred  and  seven 
persons  were  on  the  church  rolls.  INIr.  Jones  was  here  less  than 
a  year,  and  after  his  departure  the  organization  lost  its  mem- 
bership quite  rapidly.  He  had  a  great  reputation  as  an  evange- 
list, but  did  not  remain  long  in  any  locality.  He  died  in  Exeter 
May  29,  1841. 

Rev.  Reuben  Kimball.

pastor  at  Andover  and  Wilmot  May,  1850.  to  1852;  pastor  at 
Wilmot  1852  to  1855;  at  Conway  1856  to  1869,  and  at  Effing- 
ham in  1870.  He  died  at  North  Conway  November  17,  1871. 
During  his  brief  pastorate  at  Andover  Mr.  Kimball  made  many 
friends  among  all  classes  of  people,  and  he  and  his  family  did 
much  to  stimulate  the  social  growth  of  the  community  and  the 
prosperity  of  the  academy  at  the  Center.     (See  family.) 

Rev.  Samuel  Kingsbury. 

Samuel,  son  of  James  and  Mary  (Walker)  Kingsbury,  born

1822,  and  Andover  Theological  Seminary  in  1825 ;  was  pastor  in 
Congregational  churches  in  Leroy,  N.  Y.,  Andover,  N.  H.,  Ja- 
maica, Vt.,  Warwick,  Mass.,  Worcester,  Middlesex  and  Underhill, 
Vt.,  Thornton  and  Tamworth,  N.  H.  After  the  dismissal  of  Rev. 
Mr.  Badcock  in  1809  the  interest  in  the  Congregational  Church  in 
Andover  was  at  a  very  low  ebb  for  at  least  fifteen  years.  Several 
attempts  were  made  to  organize  a  new  society  and  in  the  latter 
part  of  1828  Mr.  Kingsbury  assisted  in  the  formation  of  an  or- 
ganization known  as  the  "First  Congregational  Society  in  An- 
dover," and  early  in  1829  became  its  pastor.  He  was  an  active, 
zealous  minister,  but  dissensions  arose,  religious  interest  in  the 
new  Baptist  and  Christian  churches  discouraged  the  increase  of 
membership  in  his  church  and  in  1831  he  severed  his  connection 
with  the  Andover  Church  and  went  to  a  church  in  Vermont. 
(See  family.)

22,  1843,  where  he  remained  until  December  19,  1860.  In  1862 
he  went  to  Ohio  and  preached  one  year  at  Amherst  and  Vermil- 
lion; returned  to  Canterbury,  where  he  was  acting  pastor  until

soon  after  that  time.  He  married  Nancy,  daughter  of  Elijah 
Hilton,  and  resided  at  Mr.  Hilton's  for  several  years.  On  leav-

powerful  voice,  which,  in  his  early  work  as  an  evangelist,  could 
be  heard  easily  at  the  distance  of  a  mile.  His  career  as  a  min- 
ister is  perhaps  best  presented  in  the  following  statement  over 
his  signature : 

''I  entered  the  ministry  of  the  Gospel  in  1815,  since  which 
time  I  have  traveled  and  preached  in  twenty-three  of  the  states 
of  the  American  Union  and  four  of  the  British  Provinces,  and 
have  delivered  over  14,000  public  discourses.  And  at  the  age 
of  nearly  four  score  years  I  find  myself  able  to  preach  every  day, 
and  feel  the  delight  in  proclaiming  the  unsearchable  riches  of 
Christ  that  I  have  for  more  than  half  a  century  past. ' ' 

He  was  the  editor  of  several  newspapers  in  Vermont  and  iMas- 
sachusetts.  Soon  after  he  returned  from  his  service  in  the  army 
he  assisted  in  the  building  of  the  house  of  Richard  Potter  at 
the  Potter  Place. 

Rev.  Harvey  Calvin  Sawyer. 

Mr.  Sawyer  was  born  in  Andover,  attended  Proctor  Academy

New  Hampshire  Conference  Seminary  at  Tilton  in  June,  1894; 
preached  at  the  Congregational  Church  at  Andover  Center  1892-

daughter  of  Dea.  William  True  of  Andover.  Mr.  Shaw  became 
a  minister  of  the  Christian  Church  March  31,  1814.  He  came

shire. In  1816  he  made  the  first  of  several  preaching  tours  to 
New  York.  From  these  tours  he  frequently  returned  to  Andover 
but  made  no  prolonged  stay.  After  about  eleven  years'  absence, 
preaching  in  many  places  in  New  York.  Ohio  and  Canada,  he 
returned  to  New  Hampshire  and  for  some  time  held  meetings 
in  Andover,  Boscawen.  Deerfield  and  Sanbornton.  He  was  for

service  on  the  summit  of  Kearsarge.  In  1846  he  became  the 
agent  of  the  N.  E.  Missionary  Society,  but  in  little  more  than  a 
year  his  health  failed  under  the  strain  of  extra  work  and  was 
never  restored.  He  died  May  5,  1851,  leaving  a  Avidow  and  four 
children. 

Rev.  Nehemiah  Dodge  Sleeper. 

Mr.  Sleeper  was  born  in  Andover  and  his  educational  advan- 
tages were  limited  to  the  district  school.  He  became  "con- 
verted" at  the  age  of  seventeen  and  began  to  expound  his  re- 
ligious convictions.  In  1815.  at  the  age  of  twenty-two.  he

years.  On  June  19,  1817,  he  was  ordained  into  the  ministry  of 
the  Christian  denomination  in  Andover,  at  which  service  more

day in  some  of  the  neighboring  towns.  In  his  early  manhood 
he  preached  in  various  places  in  New  York,  New  Jersey,  Massa- 
chusetts and  Vermont.  He  was  an  active,  earnest  preacher  all 
of  his  life.  On  the  3d  of  July,  1881,  he  walked  from  his  home 
to  Davisville,  Warner,  a  distance  of  two  miles,  and  preached  in 
the  schoolliouse,  on  the  eighty-eighth  anniversary  of  his  birth. 
His  last  visit  to  his  native  town  was  on  June  25,  1879,  to  attend 
the  Centennial  celebration.  He  was  then  eighty-six  years  of 
age  and  he  Avalked  to  Andover  and  back  to  Contoocook.  He  was 
a  good  minister,  a  lovable  man,  a  kind  neighbor  and  a  good  citi- 
zen.    He  died  October  8,  1881.

Eev.  Elijah  Watson. 

Rev.  Elijah  Watson  was  the  son  of  Nathan  and  Ruth  (Hink- 
son)  Watson  and  was  born  in  Nottingham,  N.  H.  Elijah  Wat- 
son "experienced  religion"  at  the  age  of  fourteen,  was  baptized 
as  one  of  the  early  converts  in  the  Free  Will  Baptist  Church  at 
the  age  of  twenty-three  and  he  came  to  Andover  in  1803,  soon  af- 
ter he  began  to  preach.  He  was  ordained  at  East  Andover  in 
1803.  He  was  a  kind,  sympathetic  and  genial  man  and  an  ac- 
tive, energetic  preacher.  With  a  meager  equipment  in  educa- 
tion from  the  study  of  books,  his  zeal,  honesty  and  simple  faith 
made  him  an  influence  for  good  not  only  in  his  own  denomi- 
nation but  in  every  community  in  which  he  lived.  He  spent 
most  of  his  life  as  a  minister  in  Andover,  but  he  lived  two  years 
in  Newport;  two  years  in  Croyden;  ten  years  in  Sutton  and 
eleven  years  in  Springfield.  He  was  a  representative  in  the  leg- 
islature in  1816  from  Springfield.  It  was  said,  at  the  time  of 
his  death  in  1857,  that  he  had  preached  more  than  7,000  sermons, 
attended  2,000  funerals,  baptized  2,100  converts  and  solemnized 
1,500  marriages ;  but,  so  far  as  now  known,  he  kept  no  complete 
records  of  deaths  or  marriages.  Soon  after  he  came  to  x\n- 
dover  he  lived  in  a  house  standing  east  from  the  Jacob  Weare 
house;  afterward  in  the  first  house  from  the  corner  of  Lakeside 
cemetery,  on  the  road  leading  to  Salisbury  North  road.  Elder 
Watson  preached  a  sermon  on  the  summit  of  Kearsarge  Moun- 
tain on  the  4th  of  July  and  a  very  large  number  of  people  gath- 
ered to  hear  him.  His  subject  was  "The  Goodness  of  God  as 
Shown  in  Nature."  He  was  a  very  large,  heavy  man,  and  in 
ascending  the  mountain  he  was  assisted,  most  of  the  way,  by 
a  stalwart  man  at  each  arm.  Afterwards  Rev.  Elijah  Shaw 
preached  at  the  same  elevated  point.  Elder  Watson  died  in 
Andover  November  4,  1857. 

•     Rev.  Josiah  P.  Watson,  D.  D. 

Mr.  Watson,  son  of  Elijah  Watson,  Jr.,  was  born  in  Andover 
and  was  educated  principally  at  the  district  schools  at  East  An- 
dover and  at  the  academy  at  the  Center.  He  was  ordained  as  a 
minister  of  the  Christian  Church  at  East  Wilmot  in  1856  by 
Revs.  P.  INI.  Hersey,  John  Burden  anl  W.  H.  Nason  and  for 


Ministers.  403 

some  time  preached  intermittently  for  the  churches  in  Andover 
and  Wihnot.  He  soon  went  "West  and  had  the  pastoral  charge 
-of  several  churches  in  Illinois,  ]Minnesota,  Indiana  and  Ohio. 
He  was  chaplain  of  one  of  the  Indiana  regiments ;  the  first  presi- 
dent of  La  Grange  Christian  College;  for  several  years  editor 
of  the  Herald  of  Gospel  Liberty  and  afterwards  editor  of  the 
Sunday  School  Literature  for  the  Christian  denomination.  He 
received  the  degree  of  D.  D.  in  1892. 

Rev.  Peter  Young. 

Elder  Peter  Young  was  ordained  in  York,  Me.,  September  9, 
1808.  He  began  preaching  in  Deerfield,  N.  H.,  in  1812,  where 
he  continued  until  1819.  when  he  moved  to  Andover.  He  was 
influential  in  several  revivals  in  Andover,  where  he  remained 
as  a  preacher  for  the  Christian  denomination  for  several  years.

BRIEF  BIOGRAPHICAL  SKETCHES. 


The  First  Five  Settlers — Joseph  Fellows,  Elias  Rano,  Wil- 
liam ]MoREY,  Edward  Ladd  and  Simeon  Connor. 


Joseph  Fellows. 

The  first  settler  in  the  territory  then  known  first  as  New 
Breton,  and  afterwards  as  Andover,  was  Joseph  Fellows.  He 
was  born  in  Newbury,  ~\Iass. ;  came  to  Kingston,  N.  H.,  thence  to 
a  point  near  Corser  hill  in  Boscawen,  now  Webster,  and  from 
there,  in  the  spring  of  1761,  to  his  log  house,  which  he  had  just 
finished,  on  land  now  belonging  to  the  William  B.  Emery  farm  at 
Flaghole.  At  that  time  he  was  thirty-two  years  old  and  had  a 
wife  and  four  children,  one  a  baby,  the  two  younger  children 
accompanying  the  father  and  mother  on  the  first  trip  to  the  new 
home.  The  first  part  of  the  journey  proved  so  hard  for  the 
wife,  who  carried  the  baby  in  her  arras,  that  she  stopped  at  a 
settler's  house  in  Salisbury,  where  she  and  the  baby  remained 
during  the  night,  while  ]Mr.  Fellows,  accompanied  by  his  dog, 
carried  the  older  child  and  his  gun  on  to  his  new  log  house,  Avhore 
he  spent  the  night.  In  the  morning  he  fed  the  child,  left  it  in 
the  house  with  the  faithful  dog  and  went  back  for  his  wife  and 
youngest  child.  Carrying  the  baby  and  his  gun,  his  wife  fol- 
lowing, they  completed  the  journey  that  day  and  established 
the  first  home  in  the  wilderness  of  New  Breton.  His  daugh- 
ter, ]\Iargaret,  was  the  first  white  child  born  in  this  town.  Mr. 
Fellows  was  of  that  persistent,  fearless  stock  that  has  made  the 
frontier  a  constantly  moving  line  since  this  country  was  first 
settled. 

A  good  specimen  of  the  best  type  of  New  England  pioneer, 
he  was  a  farmer,  hunter,  carpenter,  and  possessed  a  working 
knowledge  of  other  trades.  He  could  fell  the  trees  of  the  origi- 
nal forest  and  raise  corn ;  could  trap  or  shoot  the  beaver  and  tan

his  skill;  l)iiil(l  ;i  lo^^'  e;il)in  or  a  frame  house;  make  a  shoe,  or 
build  and  run  a  sawmill.  His  height  was  about  six  feet  and  his 
weight  about  160  pounds.  Wiry  strength  and  endurance  rather 
than  Aveight  and  volume  of  muscle  were  his  physical  peculiar- 
ities among  his  fellow  pioneers.  Rumors  of  the  coming  strug- 
gle at  Lexington  and  Concord  stirred  the  hearts  of  the  men  of 
New  Breton  and  Mr.  Fellows  was  among  the  first  to  hurry  to  the 
point  of  danger.  They  were  too  late  for  the  opening  fight,  but 
they  all  did  good  service  at  Bunker  Hill.  He  was  in  Capt.  Eben- 
ezer  Webster's  company  with  Stark  at  Bennington  and  Still- 
water. After  the  war  closed  he  devoted  his  energies  to  the  im- 
provement of  his  farm  and  its  surroundings.  He  set  out  the 
first  apple  tree  in  town.  It  stood  about  thirty  feet  from  the  old 
well  on  the  Royal  Stone  farm. 

It  is  related  that,  after  his  sons  were  well  grown  men,  he  built 
a  frame  house,  30  x  40  feet,  on  the  ground.  The  frame  was  very- 
heavy  and  he  was  advised  to  collect  all  the  neighbors  and  have 
a  "raising."  He  felt,  however,  that  he  and  his  sons  were  equal 
to  the  task  and  it  was  all  raised  by  himself  and  six  of  his  sons. 

Mr.  Fellows  was  a  hardy,  resourceful  pioneer,  a  brave  soldier 
and  a  good,  patriotic  citizen.  Fortunate  the  town  whose  first 
settlers  were  thus  distinguished. 

Elias  Rano. 

The  second  settler  in  New  Breton  was  Elias  Rano.  He  came 
from  Kingston  with  his  wife,  Mary,  and  settled  on  the  southern 
line  of  the  town  on  Raccoon  hill  and  east  of  the  Ziba  Severance 
farm.  He  built  his  log  cabin  on  the  southern  end  of  lot  59  in 
the  first  range.  On  November  19,  1764,  he  sold  his  farm  to  his 
son,  Samuel,  and  moved  to  the  location  now  known  as  the  Walker 
farm,  in  the  first  range,  and  east  of  the  Joseph  Ayres  Rowe 
farm.  He  cleared  nearly  all  of  this  farm  from  the  original 
forest. 

He  was  a  rough  frontiersman,  not  noted  for  a  saintly  temper 
or  for  conspicuous  abstinence  when  the  common  ''New  England" 
beverage  of  that  day  was  in  question.  Tradition  relates  that  in 
a  domestic  crisis  the  old  soldier  thought  his  wife's  hot  temper 
would  be  improved  by  a  cold  bath  in  the  well.     In  the  attempt 


Brief  Biographical  Sketches.  409 

to  carry  out  his  scheme  he  found  that  the  opening  for  the  bucket 
in  the  heavy  timbered  platform  was  not  suited  to  the  generous 
figure  of  his  spouse,  and  her  temper  raged  anew,  while  he  con- 
fessed defeat.  Mr.  Rano  was  a  good  soldier  in  the  expedition 
against  Crown  Point  in  1756.  He  was  generous  as  well  as  fear- 
less and,  altogether,  a  good  neighbor  and  a  useful  man  in  the 
early  days  of  the  township. 

William  Morey. 

William  Morey,  with  his  wife  and  probably  six  children,  came 
from  Kingston  and  settled  at  Flaghole,  near  where  the  brick 
house  now  stands.  He  cleared  a  part  of  that  farm  and  then 
moved  his  family  to  Boston  hill  and  was  the  first  settler  in  that 
locality.  His  log  house  was  built  near  where  Mrs.  Jonathan  Cil- 
ley's  house  now  stands.  During  the  contest  over  the  location  of 
the  second  meeting-house  at  East  Andover,  Mr.  Morey  hoped  to 
see  it  located  near  his  farm,  with -a  village  springing  up  around 
it,  in  accordance  with  the  New  England  custom.  In  that  he 
was  disappointed.  He  cleared  a  large  tract  of  land  in  that  vicin- 
ity but  finally  moved  to  Wilmot,  then  Kearsarge  Gore,  settling 
on  what  has  since  been  known  as  Morey  hill.  His  son,  William, 
remained  for  several  years  on  the  paternal  acres  on  Boston  hill, 
but  finally  joined  his  father  on  Morey  hill,  where  he  raised  a 
large  family  of  children.  ]\Ir.  Morey  was  an  energetic,  indus- 
trious man  and  a  good  citizen.  He  was  a  soldier  in  the  famous 
campaign  against  Louisburg  in  1745,  and  was  in  Capt.  Ebenezer 
Webster's  company  with  Stark  at  Bennington  and  Stillwater  in 
1777. 

Edward  Ladd. 

Edward  Ladd  came  from  Exeter  to  New  Breton,  the  next  set- 
tler after  William  Morey.  He  bought  of  Joseph  Rawlins  of  Ex- 
eter, August  14,  1765,  lot  No.  33  in  the  third  range,  containing 
"100  acres  more  or  less"  for  "twelve  pounds  ten  shillings  laAV- 
ful  money."  He  was  a  descendant  of  Daniel  Ladd,  a  sturdy 
Scotchman,  who  came  to  New  England  in  1634.  Mr.  Ladd  Avas 
the  first  settler  in  what  is  now  the  village  of  East  Andover  and 
built  his  house  near  the  site  of  the  house  occupi(>d  by  X.  B.  Brv- 


410  History  of  Andover. 

ant  at  the  time  of  his  death.  He  cleared  the  original  forest  from' 
that  farm  and  the  adjoining  land  of  W.  D.  Tuttle.  There  was 
born  John  Ladd,  the  first  boy  of  white  parentage  born  in  this 
town.  Mr.  Ladd  was  a  tanner,  farmer  and  wheelwright — thrifty 
and  industrious  in  all  work  that  he  undertook,  and  in  later 
years  built  the  house  in  the  village  afterwards  owned  by  James 
Marston.  He  was  a  noted  hunter  and  was  a  soldier  in  the  "Old 
French  War." 

Simeon  Connor. 

Simeon  Connor  came  to  New  Breton  from  Kensington  in 
1766,  when  he  was  twenty  years  old,  and  settled  on  the  southerly 
slope  of  Boston  hill,  where  his  great-grandson,  Otis  R.  Connor,, 
now  lives.  The  fine  elms  now  on  the  Connor  estate  were  set  out 
by  Simeon  in  1782.  Besides  clearing  and  cultivating  a  good 
farm  he  opened,  and  maintained  for  many  years,  one  of  the  first 
and  certainly  the  most  commodious  tavern  in  town.  At  that 
period  lodging  and  rum  were  the  principal  requirements  of  the' 
traveler.  He  usually  furnished  his  own  food,  generally  heart 
porridge  or  hominy,  which  he  warmed  over  the  open  fire  on  the 
hearth  of  the  log  tavern.  Mr.  Connor  drew  the  first  barrel  of 
rum  into  town  on  what  was  known  as  a  "eulheag,"  which 
was  drawn  by  one  horse  and  consisted  of  two  long  thills, 
generally  made  of  hardwood  saplings,  the  larger  ends  resting  on 
the  ground,  strengthened  by  two  cross  bars,  one  not  very  far 
from  the  end.  The  load  was  placed  near  the  cross  bars  and  was 
not  likely  to  be  tipped  over  on  the  rough,  rocky  ground  of  the 
trail  through  the  woods.  Altogether  it  w^as  a  good  vehicle  for 
the  days  of  no  good  roads.  Mr.  Connor  was  a  popular  landlord, 
of  social  temperament,  and  never  watered  his  rum,  which  in 
those  days  was  as  freely  drunk  as  we  now  drink  tea  and  coffee. 
He  was  a  good  citizen  and  did  much  for  the  prosperity  of  the- 
town  in  his  time.

LATER  RESIDENTS. 


Capt.  Josiah  Bachelder. 

Capt.  Josiah  Bachelder  came  from  Hawke,  now  Danville,  about 
1782  and  settled  upon  the  farm  now  owned  by  his  great-grand- 
son, Ex-Gov.  Nahum  J.  Bachelder.  This  is  one  of  the  very  few^ 
farms  in  town  cleared  by  the  early  settlers  and  now  owned  by 
lineal  descendants.  He  was  an  industrious  farmer  and  active 
in  all  the  duties  of  good  citizenship. 

William  A.  Bachelder. 

William  Adams  Bachelder  was  the  grandson  of  Capt.  Josiah, 
the  first  settler  of  his  name  in  to'wn,  who  built  his  house  on  what 
has  since  been  the  Bachelder  homestead  on  Taunton  hill.  Mr. 
Bachelder  was  born  on  the  ancestral  farm,  where  he  died  in  1902. 
He  was  a  good  farmer  and  a  good  citizen.  He  was  always  in- 
terested in  all  matters  pertaining  to  the  welfare  of  the  town, 
and  while  in  politics  and  religion  he  had  decided,  conscientious 
opinions,  he  held  his  course  in  a  quiet,  unobtrusive  way  that 
never  seemed  to  interfere  with  the  belief  or  faith  of  others.  In 
short,  he  was  ever  the  gentlemanly  gentleman  of  the  old  school. 

Mr.  Bachelder  w^as  deeply  interested  in  the  plan  for  a  history

ary lines  in  the  western  section  of  the  town  were  surveyed  by 
him.  He  cared  little  for  public  office  and  never  was  a  candidate 
by  any  effort  of  his  own.  He  often  said,  "I  never  vote  for  any 
man  unless  I  believe  him  to  be  honest  and  fit  for  the  place. ' '  His

lished by  the  Naval  Observatory.  He  is  a  member  of  several 
scientific  organizations  and  was  the  first  president  of  the  Wash- 
ington Academy  of  Sciences ;  has  been  the  president  and  is  now 
a  member  of  the  Cosmos  Club  of  Washington,  D.  C.  He  was 
retired  from  active  service  in  the  navy  July  29,  1898,  with  the 
rank  of  captain,  but  by  special  order  continued  on  duty  until 
October  12,  1898.  On  June  29,  1906,  he  was  promoted  to  the 
rank  of  rear  admiral  U.  S.  navy.  Before  retirement  he  pur- 
chased the  farm  which  his  grandfather  cleared  out  of  the  wilder- 
ness and  where  he  was  born,  and  most  of  his  time  in  summer  is 
spent  on  that  farm. 

Samuel  Elkins. 

Capt.  Samuel  Elkins  was  a  native  of  Epping.  He  came  to 
Andover  from  West  Salisbury,  where  he  built  the  first  gristmill 
and  sawmill  in  that  locality,  about  1790.  He  set  out  his  first 
apple  trees  in  1793,  and  built  the  first  mill  on  the  site  where  the 
hame  factory  now  stands.  He  was  an  active  business  man  and 
a  noted  mechanic.  He  settled  on  the  place  on  Beech  hill  now 
owned  by  his  great-grandson,  Eev.  Wendell  P.  Elkins. 

WiLLARD  Emery. 

Mr.  Emery,  the  son  of  Anthony,  was  bom  on  the  farm  known 
as  the  Joseph  B.  Emery  farm  on  the  Emerj^  road.  With  the 
exception  of  the  year  1839,  which  he  spent  in  Franklin,  he  re- 
mained in  Andover  till  1859,  when  he  changed  his  residence  to 
Lynn,  Mass.  For  many  years  he  lived  in  the  village  at  East 
Andover  and  most  of  his  time  was  absorbed  in  caring  for  his 
farming  interests.     He  was  interested  in  all  things  that  per-

tained  to  the  welfare  of  the  church  and  schools  iu  his  village  and 
was  especially  hospitable  to  ministers  of  the  Christian  denomina- 
tion. Late  in  life,  but  before  he  moved  to  Lynn,  he  was  afflicted 
with  physical  and  mental  derangements  that  in  his  unclouded  in- 
tervals made  his  life  a  sad,  unhappy  existence.  For  some  time 
he  remained  in  an  asylum  until  finally  full  relief  came  on  July 
21,  1871. 

John  Fellows. 

John  Fellows  was  the  grandson  of  Joseph  Fellows,  the  first 
settler  in  New  Breton,  and,  like  most  of  the  leading  men  of  the 
town,  was  a  farmer  for  most  of  his  life.  He  lived  first  on  the 
place  where  Henry  W.  Kilburn  now  lives  and  for  several  years 
was  engaged  in  extensive  lumbering  among  the  big  pines  on  the 
^'Plains."  He  afterwards  moved  to  the  Bachelder  place  in 
the  southwestern  part  of  the  town,  now  o^vned  by  Mr.  Dawes, 
where  for  many  years  he  was  a  successful  farmer  and  raised 
many  cattle  for  the  markets.  He  then  moved  to  the  Center  vil- 
lage, to  the  house  now  occupied  by  Miss  ]M.  A.  Brown,  where  he 
died  in  1868.  Mr.  Fellows  was  active  in  business,  interested 
in  all  town  affairs,  zealous  and  well  informed  in  the  political 
policies  and  discussions  of  his  period  and  an  influential  man  in 
town  and  county.  He  held  many  town  offices  and  was  deputy 
sheriff  from  1851  to  1855. 

His  wife,  Polly  Hilton,  was  one  of  the  most  notable  women  in 
the  town.  With  good  judgment,  quick  perception,  active  sym- 
pathy and  a  lively  interest  in  the  political,  moral  and  religious 
movements  of  her  day  she  was  generally  the  central  figure  in  the 
social  gatherings  of  her  friends,  and  a  source  of  inspiration  to 
many  young  people  who  were  striving  to  be  and  to  do. 

Ephraim  Gile  Gra\'es. 

Mr.  Graves  was  born  in  Andover  and  passed  his  boyhood  at  his 
father's  farm  on  Taunton  hill.  He  was  a  good  scholar  and 
easilj^  mastered  the  studies  he  found  in  the  schools.  He  did  most 
of  the  preparatory  work  at  Tyler's  school  in  Franklin  and  fin- 
ished his  studies  in  Captain  Partridge's  military  school  at  Nor- 
wich. Vt.,  and  at  the  military  institute  at  Bristol,  Pa.     He  was

a  popular  and  successful  teacher  in  llie  seliools  of  the  nei^hbor- 
iiif?  towns.  He  was  in  business  for  a  time  in  New  Orleans,  La., 
Boston,  Mass.,  and  for  several  years  was  employed  in  the  store 
at  I'otter  Plae(>. 

He  was  representative  for  two  years  and  was  elected  to  most 
of  the  town  of^ces,  all  of  which  he  filled  with  credit  to  him.self 
and  the  town.  He  was  an  active,  zealous  member  of  the  demo- 
cratic party,  always  ready  to  work  for  its  success. 

For  the  last  few  years  of  his  life  he  withdrew  himself  from 
society,  except  in  the  case  of  a  very  few  near  neighbors. 

Samuel  McGowan. 

Samuel  McGowan,  or  "Gwin,"  as  his  Andover  neighbors  in- 
terpreted his  pronunciation,  Avas  born  in  Wicke,  Caithness 
County,  in  the  north  of  Scotland.  He  was  the  son  of  James 
McGowan  and  Elizabeth  Southerland.  His  father  was  a  farmer 
and  weaver. 

In  his  fortieth  year  he  was  aboard  a  small  fishing  vessel  off 
the  Scottish  coast.  This  vessel  was  overhauled  by  a  British  war 
vessel.  He  was  impressed  into  the  service,  put  aboard  the 
Arahel  of  Greenock  in  Scotland,  and,  with  several  other  victims 
of  the  "press  gang,"  was  shipped  to  America  in  1775.  The 
Arahel  was  captured  by  a  "Yankee  privateer"  and  taken  to 
Boston.  After  several  months  McGowan  enlisted  and  served 
for  some  time  with  the  American  army  and  against  the  govern- 
ment that  had  dragged  him  from  his  home.  Under  the  provis- 
ions of  the  pension  act  of  1818,  he  received  a  pension  of  $8  per 
month.  He  married  (1)  the  sister  of  the  first  Aaron  Cilley  in 
town;  (2)  Dolly  Manuel,  who,  after  McGowan 's  death,  lived  and 
died  at  the  town  farm. 

The  writer  remembers  seeing  frequently,  when  about  eight 
years  old,  this  noted  veteran,  then  commonly  called  "Old  Gwin," 
walking  around  the  center  of  the  village  with  the  help  of  a  cane ; 
once  saw  him  in  the  meeting-house,  seemingly  an  interested  lis- 
tener. After  he  had  well  passed  his  hundredth  year,  he  held  a 
"breaking  up"  plow  for  several  turns  about  a  fairly  rough  field. 
About  that  time  he  was  asked  about  his  religious  belief,  to  which 
he  replied,  "I  am  not  a  Christian  now  but  hope  to  be  by  and  by."

He  then  lived  with  Stephen  Cilley  in  the  Jeremiah  Roberts  house, 
now  owned  by  Everand  C.  Perkins. 

At  one  time,  w'hen  first  married,  he  owned  a  place  just  west  of 
the  present  Cilleyville  schoolhouse,  where  he  lived  for  several 
years.  The  to^vn  finally  arranged  to  take  this  place  with  his  an- 
nual pension  and  guarantee  his  support  for  the  remainder  of  his 
life.  He  died  in  Andover  February  1,  1845,  aged  110  years, 
2  months  and  15  days.  No  stone  marks  the  grave  of  the  sturdy 
veteran. 

Paul  Smith  Marston. 

Paul  Smith  ]\Iarston  was  a  notable  man  in  the  group  of  those 
Andover  citizens  who  had  served  their  country  well  in  the  war 
of  the  Revolution.  He  was  energetic  and  persevering  in  his  own 
business  and  in  town  affairs,  and  was  a  good  example  of  the 
frontier  citizen.  After  many  years  of  fruitless  controversy  in 
the  town  over  a  site  for  the  new  church,  he  saw  that  the  old 
church  was  the  principal  obstacle  to  a  settlement  of  the  vexed 
question  and  in  the  dim  moonlight  of  an  early  spring  evening 
the  crude  structure  was  torn  down.  He  held  many  offices  in 
the  town  and  was  one  of  the  leading  men  in  the  town  affairs. 
He  settled  in  the  Flaghole  district  on  the  farm  afterwards  occu- 
pied for  many  years  by  Stephen  Fellows,  Sr.  In  his  declining 
years  he  lived  with  his  son,  Caleb,  on  ^Marston  hill.  He  was 
buried  in  the  cemetery  at  the  Xorth  Church. 

Caleb  ]\Iarstox. 

Caleb  ]\Iarston,  Sr.,  was  a  farmer  and  had  considerable  mechan- 
ical skill.  As  a  farmer  he  was  noted  for  his  industry  and  good 
management  and  his  farm  became  one  of  the  most  profitable  in 
town.  He  was  noted  for  many  years  as  a  successful  road  builder. 
His  integrity  was  incorruptible  and  when  he  had  decided  upon 
any  line  of  action  his  opinions  were  as  inflexible  as  the  hills. 
During  a  great  scarcity'  of  hay  in  the  spring  the  price  rose 
quickly  to  $20  per  ton,  remarkable  for  that  period.  ]\Ir.  jMars- 
ton  had  a  large  quantit}'  on  hand  but  he  would  not  accept  more 
than  $15  per  ton,  saying  "That  is  enough  for  it.  I  can't  take 
advantage  of  the  necessities  of  others."  His  last  years  were 
spent  in  East  Andover  village.

Joseph  PhiLbrick. 

]\Ir.  Philbrick  came  from  Hawke,  now  Danville,  to  Andover  in 
1777  and  settled  on  the  site  of  the  present  "Philbrick  place"  on 
Taunton  hill.  He  built  a  log  house  and  barn  and  stored  all  his 
personal  effects,  some  provisions  and  nearly  all  of  his  money  in 
the  house.  While  he  was  away  to  Kingston  to  get  his  family 
the  house  with  its  contents  was  burned.  The  state  paid  him  for 
the  amount  of  the  burned  provincial  "Bills  of  Credit,"  but  the 
Continental  Scrip  and  the  coin  tied  up  in  a  stout  linen  pillow 
case  were  a  total  loss.     He  was  told  that  his  neighbors  would  be

glad  to  assist  him  in  building  another  house  if  he  would  circulate 
a  subscription  paper,  to  which  he  replied,  "Oh,  no!  I  don't 
Avant  it.  I  can  dig  but  I  cannot  beg."  And  he  did  dig.  He 
lived  in  one  corner  of  his  barn  until  he  built  another  house. 
When  his  boys  were  married  he  furnished  each  with  a  well 
stocked  farm. 

He  afterwards  built  the  large  and  handsomely  finished  house 
now  standing  on  the  Philbrick  homestead  on  Taunton  hill.  His 
house  was  always  the  center  of  hospitality  and  the  ministers  of 
at  least  two  denominations  were  accustomed  to  call  his  house  the 
"Pilgrim  Tavern."  as  his  bountiful  board  was  always  free. 
]Mr.  Philbrick  held  many  town  offices  and  offices  of  trust,  and 
Avas  the  representative  for  eight  successive  years  after  the  tOAvn 
was  entitled  to  a  separate  representation. 

Richard  Potter. 

Richard  Potter,  the  ventriloquist  and  sleight-of-hand  per- 
former, was  perhaps  one  of  the  most  noted  men  in  town  during 
his  residence. 

In  his  professional  work  on  the  platform,  in  most  of  the  states 
of  the  Union,  he  had  no  superior  in  this  country.  To  the  people 
of  the  town  his  earh'  life  was  a  mystery.  When  definitely  ques- 
tioned he  declined  talking  or  tactfully  changed  the  subject. 
When  rumor  decided  that  he  was  an  East  Indian,  he  took  no 
pains  to  deny  it  and  that  finally  became  the  popular  belief. 

His  real  history,  as  known  in  Massachusetts,  is  of  romantic 
interest.  His  father  w-as  Sir  Charles  Henry  Frankland,  an  Eng- 
lish baronet,  who,  though  of  English  parentage,  was  born  in  Ben- 
gal, India.  He  came  to  this  country  in  the  English  consular 
service  at  Boston  and  finally  settled  in  Hopkinton,  IMass.,  where 
in  a  "magnificent  country  residence"  which  he  had  built,  he 
lived  a  strange  and  somewhat  dissolute  life  for  a  number  of 
years.  It  is  said  that  Frankland  claimed  descent  from  Oliver 
Cromwell.  Potter's  mother  was  "Dinah,"  a  negress,  probably 
a  slave,  attached  to  Frankland 's  household  in  Hopkinton. 

Potter  was  well  educated  and  by  his  father's  provision  was  en- 
abled to  travel  extensively  in  Europe.  At  the  death  of  his  fa- 
ther. Avho  had  lived  with  and  finallv  married  the  beautiful  and

soinewlijit  riiiiious  Agnes  Serriage  of  Maiblclicad,  young  Potter 
was  tin-own  upon  his  own  resources.  He  returned  to  this  coun- 
try and  became  for  a  time  a  servant  in  the  family  of  the  father 
of  Gen.  Henry  K.  Oliver,  when  Henry  K.  was  a  child. 

About  the  large  fireplace  in  the  kitchen  of  the  Oliver  home 
Potter  first  exhibited  his  skill  as  a  ventrilocpiist  and  prestidigi- 
tator in  this  country.  He  probably  had  learned  something  of  the 
art  in  his  travels.  He  soon  left  the  Oliver  family  and  lived  his 
own  life,  the  details  of  which,  beyond  the  few  years  spent  in  this 
town,  are  unknown.  He  came  to  Andover  on  one  of  his  exhibi- 
tion trips  and  gave  his  first  performance  in  the  tavern  of  Ben- 
jamin Thompson,  where  he  made  his  home  when  in  town.  One 
of  Thompson's  sons  accompanied  Potter  in  one  of  his  southern 
trips.  Potter  was  pleased  with  the  scenery  and  with  the  people 
of  that  section  of  the  town,  and  bought  the  farm,  where  he  built 
his  house  in  1814—15.  Potter  made  the  plans  and  "Esq.  Graves" 
built  the  house,  which  Avas  on  the  site  now  occupied  by  the  house 
of  Daniel  Downes.  Rev.  E.  B.  Rollins,  then  a  young  man,  just 
returned  from  the  war  of  1812-15,  worked  for  Potter  and  carried 
the  mortar  for  the  house. 

Potter  was  married  but  his  wife's  maiden  name  is  not  known. 
A  son,  Richard,  grew  to  manhood  and  followed  the  profession  of 
his  father.  (See  family.)  One  child,  Henry  ]\I.,  was  killed 
October  5,  1816,  by  falling  under  the  wheels  of  a  cart  loaded  with 
corn.  He  was  seven  years  old  and  was  buried  in  the  old  cemetery 
at  the  Center.  It  is  said  that  a  daughter  was  born,  but  lived  only 
a  short  time.  Richard  Potter  and  his  wife,  Sally,  were  buried 
in  the  grounds  now  owned  by  Daniel  Downes  and  almost  oppo- 
site the  railroad  station  at  Potter  Place.  The  headstones  have 
the  following  inscriptions : 

Richard  Potter  died  Sept.  20,  1835.  aged  52. 
Sally  Potter  died  October  24,  1836,  aged  49. 

It  is  supposed  that  their  ai:es  were  greater  than  given  on  the 
headstones. 

Sir  Charles  Henry  Frankland  had  another  son,  whose  mother 
•was  a  negress,  another  servant  in  Frankland 's  retinue,  whom  he 
named  Richard  Cromwell  Potter.  This  man  lived  for  many 
years  in  Hopkinton.  ]\Iass..  and  afterwards  came  to  live  in  An-

clover,  where  he  died  early  in  1861,  aged  65.  He  was  always 
known  in  Andover  as  Cromwell,  or  more  familiarly  as  "Crum" 
Potter,  and  will  be  remembered  as  a  man  of  various  accomplish- 
ments as  a  farm  laborer.  His  wife,  Phebe,  was  an  invaluable 
member  of  the  community.  Honest,  industrious,  an  excellent 
cook  and  a  competent  nurse,  her  record  was  worthy  of  emulation 
in  any  walk  in  life.  The  colored  blood  in  her  veins,  and  it  was 
very  dark,  was  no  bar  at  any  table  or  fireside  in  the  western  end 
of  the  town.  Twenty-five  years  ago  there  were  many  men  and 
women  living  whose  first  toilets  were  made  by  the  deft  hands  of 
Mrs.  Potter.  She  died  in  the  summer  of  1860.  aged  84.  She  had 
solved  the  race  question. 

William  Proctor. 

Mr.  Proctor  came  from  Salisbury,  Mass.,  to  East  Andover 
about  1796.  In  1805  he  moved  to  Andover  Center.  He  was  a 
blacksmith  and  was  accounted  a  skillful  and  ingenious  work- 
man. Like  most  country  mechanics  of  that  day  he  was  a  farmer, 
an  arrangement  which,  in  the  simple  life  of  that  period,  added 
materially  to  the  family  income.  He  was  a  captain  and  major 
in  the  21st  Regiment  of  state  militia ;  held  many  town  offices  and 
Avas  a  man  of  excellent  judgment  and  high  character.  He  was  a 
staunch  Democrat  and  an  earnest  Methodist,  and  his  house  was 
always  a  home  for  all  Methodist  ministers  and  also  for  most 
other  clergymen.  When  the  agitation  for  the  abolition  of  negro 
slavery  was  receiving  much  attention,  he  did  not  sympathize  with 
the  abolitionists,  and  posted  the  following  notice  at  his  gate : 
'"This  house  is  a  home  for  all  ministers  of  the  gospel,  but  no 
home  for  an  abolitionist."  After  moving  to  Andover  Center  Mr, 
Proctor  became  prominent  in  Masonic  circles.  IMucli  of  his  me- 
chanical skill  w^as  inherited,  apparently,  by  his  children  and 
grandchildren. 

John  Procior. 

Mr.  Proctor  was  born  at  East  Andover  and  passed  his  youth- 
ful days  in  the  district  schoolhouse,  on  the  farm  and  in  his  fa- 
ther's blacksmith,  shop,  where  he  learned  the  rudiments  of  the 
machinists'  trade.     At  the  age  of  eighteen  he  went  to  Seekonk, 


4'2S  HiSTORV   OF   AXDOVER. 

]{.  I.,  where  lie  found  ciiiployinciil  willi  a  blacksmith  at  $18  per 
month,  staying  there  until  he  reaelied  his  majority.  While  in 
Seekonk  he  faithfully  sent  a  portion  of  his  wages  each  year  to 
his  father.  In  1826  he  went  to  Providence,  R.  I.,  and  found  work 
at  finishing  machinery,  at  which  he  earned  .$1.33  per  da3\  At 
the  end  of  eleven  years  he  had  a  capital  of  about  $3,000.  In  1840 
he  was  associated  with  three  other  men  in  a  company  known  as 
The  Eagle  Screw  Company,  for  the  manufacture  of  wood  screws. 
A  rival  company  was  organized  in  1845,  but  the  Eagle  Company 
continued  its  prosperity,  and  in  1851  produced  8,000  gross  of 
screws  per  day.  In  1858  the  two  companies  were  consolidated 
under  the  title  of  the  American  Screw  Co.,  with  a  capital  of  one 
million  dollars,  and  a  daily  production  of  30,000  gross  of  screws. 
In  these  various  companies  Mr.  Proctor  had  held  the  position  of 
superintendent  of  machinery,  and  he  o^^Tied  a  generous  amount 
of  the  stock  of  the  new  company.  By  this  time  he  had,  by  un- 
usual industry,  well  regulated  economy,  exemplary  habits  and 
judicious  investments,  acquired  a  handsome  fortune  for  those 
days,  and  he  decided  to  return  to  Andover  and  enjoy  once  more 
the  freedom  of  life  in  the  country.  From  this  time  until  his 
death  his  life  was  one  of  great  activity  and  liberality,  actuated 
by  his  desire  for  the  improvement  and  development  of  his  native 
town.  Mr.  Proctor  expended  large  sums  of  money  in  improving 
farms  and  buildings  in  and  around  the  center  village  and  at  Cil- 
leyville.  He  contributed  several  thousand  dollars  towards  ex- 
tinguishing the  war  debt  of  the  town,  gave  $5,000  for  educational 
purposes  in  the  town,  was  a  generous  supporter  of  the  cause  of 
liberal  religion  and  contributed  to  the  funds  of  the  Chandler  Sci- 
entific Department  of  Dartmouth  College.  He  was  interested 
in  the  establishment  of  manufacturing  industries  and  was  active 
in  the  development  of  the  Avater  power  at  the  site  of  the  present 
hame  factory  and  at  Cilleyville.  The  Proctor  House,  which  he 
built,  furnished  and  owned  till  it  was  destroyed  by  fire,  was 
probably  the  most  popular,  complete  and  attractive  hotel  in  this 
section  of  the  state.  It  was  crowded  with  guests  during  the  sum- 
mer and  rooms  were  engaged  nine  mouths  in  advance. 

In  politics  ]\Ir.  Proctor  was  an  ardent  Democrat.  He  was  a 
representative  in  1861  and  1862;  a  delegate  to  the  Democratic 
national  convention  in  1868  and  a  state  senator  in  1875. 


Brief  Biographical  Sketches.  429 

Edxa  Dean  Proctor. 

Miss  Proctor  was  born  in  the  Contooeook  valley  in  Henniker, 
X.  H.  There  she  spent  her  childhood  and  there  she  became  im- 
bued with  the  love  of  forest  and  stream,  valley  and  mountain 
that  has  been  a  quickening  inspiration  in  many  of  her  highest 
literary  creations. 

On  the  marriage  of  her  mother  to  Joseph  C.  Thompson,  she 
came  with  her  to  reside  in  Andover.  On  the  completion  of  her 
education  she  made  her  home  in  Brooklyn,  N.  T.,  where  after  a 
few  years  she  published  her  first  book,  "Life  Thoughts,"  a  col- 
lection of  extracts  from  the  extemporaneous  discourses  of  Rev. 
Henry  Ward  Beecher.  These  were  so  well  arranged  and  so  gen- 
erally recognized  as  presenting  the  best  utterances  of  the  great 
preacher  that  the  volume  became  very  popular  both  in  England 
and  the  United  States. 

From  her  childhood  she  had  shown  unusual  ability  in  poetical 
composition  and  her  young  womanhood  had  strongly  accented  her 
talent  and  her  power.  She  soon  published  a  volume  of  poems, 
which  were  favorably  received  and  gave  her  high  rank  among  the 
poets  of  the  country.  After  an  extensive  foreign  tour,  embracing 
Egypt,  Palestine  and  nearly  all  the  European  countries,  she  pub- 
lished an  interesting  book,  "A  Russian  Journey,"  replete  with 
information  clothed  in  a  charming  style.  Much  of  i\liss  Proc- 
tor's literary  work  has  been  done  for  magazines  and  newspapers 
and  some  of  her  best  productions  have  been  given  to  the  public 
in  this  informal  manner.  Her  patriotic  love  for  her  native  state 
and  for  the  greater  nation  are  strongly  manifest  in  some  of  her 
most  graceful  as  well  as  in  the  strongest  of  her  poems.  She  is  still 
peerless  among  the  literary  singers  of  her  own  New  Hampshire. 
In  the  soul  of  every  one  born  within  sight  of  ' '  Our  Kearsarge, ' ' 
the  following  poem  will  strike  a  responsive  chord : 

KEARSARGE   MOUNTAIN. 

By  Edna  Dean  Proctor. 

Oh,  lift  thy  head,  thou  mountain  lone. 

And  mate  thee  with  the  sun! 

Thy  rosy  clouds  are  valeward  blown, 

Thy  stars,  that  near  at  midnight  shone 

Gone  heavenward  one  by  one, 

And  half  of  earth,  and  half  of  air, 

Thou  risest  vast  and  gray  and  bare 


480  IIlSTOKY   OF   AnDOVER. 

And  crowned  with  glory.     Far  southwest 

Monadnock   sinks  to  see, — 

For  all  its  trees  and  towering  crest, 

And  dear   Contoocook   from    its   breast 

Poured  down  for  wood  and  lea, — 

I  low  statelier  still,  through  frost  and  dew. 

Thy  granite  cleaves  th&  distant  blue. 

And  high  to  north,  from  fainter  sky, 

Franoonia's  cliffs  look   down; 

Home  to  their  crags  the  eagles  fly. 

Deep  in  their  caves  the  echoes  die, 

The  sparkling  waters  frown, 

And  the  great  face  that  guards  the  glen 

Pales  with  the  pride  of  mortal  men. 

Nay,  from  their  silent,  crystal  seat 

The  White  Hills  scan  the  plain; 

Nor   Saco's  leaping,  lightsome  feet. 

Nor   Ammonoosuc   wild   to  greet 

The  meadows  and  the  main, 

Nor  snows  nor  thunders  can  atone 

For  splendor  thou  hast  made  thine  own. 

For  tliou  hast  joined  the  immortal  band 
Of  hills  and  streams  and  plains. 
Shrined  in  the  songs  of  native  land, — 
Linked  with  the  deeds  of  valor  grand 
Told  when  the  bright  day  wanes, — 
Part  of  the  nation's  life  art  thou, 
O  mountain  of  the  granite  brow! 

Not  Pelion  when  the  Argo  rose, 

Grace  of  its  goodliest  trees; 

Nor  Norway  hills  when  woodman's  blows 

Their  pines  sent  through  the  snows 

That  kings  might  rove  the  seas; 

Nor  heights  that  gave  the  Armada's  line. 

Thrilled  with  a  joy  as  pure  as  thine. 

Bold  was  the  ship  thy  name  that  bore; 
Strength  of  the  hills  was  hers; 
Heart  of  the  oaks  thy  pastures  store, 
The  pines  that  hear  the  north-wind  roar. 
The  dark  and  tapering  firs; 
Nor  Argonaut  nor  Viking  knew 
Sublimer  daring  than  her  crew.

And  long  as  freedom  fires  the  soul 

Or  mountains  pierce  the  air, 

Her  fame  shall  shine  on  honor's  scroll; 

Thy  brow  shall  be  the  pilgrim's  goal 

Uplifted  broad  and  fair; 

And.  from  thy  skies,  inspiring  gales 

O'er  future  seas  shall  sweep  our  sails. 

Still  summer  keep  thy  pastures  green, 

And  clothe  thy  oaks  and  pines; 

Brooks  laugh  thy  rifted  rocks  between; 

Snows  fall  serenely  o'er  the  scene 

And  veil  thy  lofty  lines; 

While  crowned  and  peerless  thou  dost  stand, 

The  monarch  of  our  mountain  land.  * 

Joseph  Se\^raxce. 

Lieut.  Joseph  Severance,  born  in  Kingston,  came  from  Chester 
to  Anclover  in  1869,  and  settled  on  the  Andover  side  of  Raccoon 
hill.  He  cleared  and  cultivated  much  of  the  farm  afterwards 
owned  by  his  son,  Dea.  James,  and  later  by  his  grandson,  Ziba. 
He  was  chosen  one  of  the  "Committee  of  Safety"  and  was  ac- 
tive and  zealous  in  all  things  tending  to  the  welfare  of  the  town 
during  the  Revolutionary  struggle. 

James  Severance. 

Dea.  James  Severance  was  born  in  Andover  and  inherited  the 
excellent  farm  which  he  and  his  son,  Ziba,  made  one  of  the  noted 
farms  in  town.  The  deacon  was  a  conscientious  and  strictly  hon- 
est man,  a  good  citizen  and  a  consistent  church  member,  who 
took  his  religious  spirit  into  his  daily  life. 

Having  erected  a  good  house  he  arranged  to  have  it  dedicated 
on  October  11,  1830.  Elder  Elijah  "Watson  preached  the  dedi- 
catory sermon  from  the  text,  "But  as  for  me  and  my  house  we 
will  serve  the  Lord."  A  large  gathering  of  "brethren"  and 
other  citizens  filled  the  handsome  new  house  and  the  good  old 
minister  pronounced  it  a  "powerful  meeting."  An  evening 
meeting  followed  the  extraordinary  services  of  the  day  and  con- 
tinued until  one  o'clock  on  the  following  morning.  At  that  hour 
the  people  returned  to  their  homes  after  agreeing  to  meet  at  sun-

rise  at  the  same  place  to  continue  the  religious  exercises.  At 
sunrise  a  large  company  were  found  assembled  at  prayers,  which 
continued  until  9  a.  m.,  when  the  dedication  was  completed. 
That  house  is  still  standing,  but  the  spirit  of  the  house  has  de- 
parted. 

John  AVesley  Simonds. 

Mr.  Simonds  was  born  on  the  "river  road"  in  that  portion  of 
Andover  included  later  in  the  town  of  Franklin,  on  May  10, 
1829.  He  attended  the  district  schools  of  the  neighborhood, 
studied  one  terra  at  the  Instructor's  School  at  Franklin  and  fin- 
ished his  preparatory  course  at  Andover  Academy;  graduated 
at  Bowdoin  College  in  1854  and  received  the  degree  of  A.  M. 
in  course.  He  soon  adopted  teaching  as  a  profession  and  con- 
tinued in  that  work  either  as  an  active  teacher,  a  superintendent 
or  director  throughout  his  after  life. 

He  was  principal  of  the  Salisbury  Academy ;  principal  of  the 
high  school  at  Fisherville,  now  Penacook,  for  three  years ;  prin- 
cipal of  the  academy  at  Andover  most  of  the  time  from  1857  to 
1871;  state  superintendent  of  schools  for  New  Hampshire  from 
1871  to  1876 ;  superintendent  of  schools  in  Milford,  Mass. ;  and 
in  1882  was  principal  of  the  Burr  and  Benton  Academy  in  Man- 
chester, Vt.  He  was  elected  president  of  the  University  of  Da- 
kota, where  he  remained  until  his  death  at  Vermillion,  Dak., 
June  3,  1885. 

Colonel  Joseph  Sweatt. 

Mr.  Sweatt  was  born  in  Salisbury  and  came  wdth  his  father  to 
the  Carlton  J.  White  farm  on  the  Blaekwater  river  when  a  young 
man,  where  he  remained  until  1847.  He  was  a  prominent  citizen 
of  the  town  from  early  manhood  throughout  a  long  and  honorable 
career.  He  was  adjutant  of  the  21st  Regiment  as  early  as  1826, 
major  in  1830,  lieutenant  colonel  in  1831,  and  was  at  the  head  of 
the  regiment  as  early  as  1834.  He  was  during  this  period  hon- 
ored with  various  offices  in  the  to\vn,  being  frequently  elected 
moderator,  and  was  one  of  the  selectmen  for  several  years.  He 
was  the  representative  of  the  town  in  the  legislature  in  1835. 
His  farm  was  well  cultivated  and  very  productive  and  the  build- 
ings erected  by  him  were  very  convenient.  He  was  a  prime 
mover  in  building  the  Union  Church  at  Andover  Center.     He  be-

came  deeply  interested  in  the  Orphans'  Home  in  Franklin  and 
left  evidence  of  his  appreciation  in  his  last  will.  He  left  $1,000  to 
Proctor  Academy.  He  was  a  man  of  stern  integrity  of  charac- 
ter, exemplary  in  all  the  relations  of  life.  Mr.  Sweatt  died  in  the 
fine  old  Haddock  mansion  near  the  Orphans'  Home  at  Webster 
Place,  Franklin,  January  25,  1878. 

Benjamin  Thompson. 

Benjamin  Thompson  was  born  in  Woburn,  Mass.  He  came  to 
Andover  from  Hopkinton,  N.  H.,  soon  after  the  close  of  the  Revo- 
lutionary War  and  settled  on  the  farm  afterwards  owned  by  his 
son,  Herod,  now  owned  by  John  Sanborn.  For  many  years  he 
kept  the  most  famous  tavern  in  this  section  of  the  state.  He  was 
an  active  farmer,  successful  in  business  and  a  man  of  unusual 
intellectual  capacity.  He  was  a  Revolutionary  soldier  and  an 
ardent  patriot. 

Joseph  Calef  Thompson. 

]\Ir.  Thompson  was  born  in  Andover,  where  he  resided  all  of 
his  life.  He  had  only  the  usual  educational  advantages,  but  he 
made  the  most  of  all  available  means  for  improvement.  He  was 
principally  occupied  as  a  farmer.  He  owned  nearly  two  thou- 
sand acres  of  land,  much  of  it  pasturage  on  the  southern  slopes 
of  Ragged  Mountain,  and  he  usually  had  from  fifteen  hundred 
to  two  thousand  sheep.  He  was  keenly  interested  in  all  the  af- 
fairs of  the  town  and  held  many  places  of  trust  and  responsi- 
bility. He  was  an  earnest  temperance  advocate  and  did  much 
for  the  cause  of  sobriety  in  the  town.  Mr.  Thompson  was  elec- 
ted moderator  many  times  and  was  chosen  representative  to  the 
legislature  in  1828  and  1839. 

He  was  deputy  sheriff  for  Merrimack  County  from  1839  to 
1842,  and  did,  to  a  large  extent,  the  business  of  Parker  Noyes 
at  Franklin,  Lower  Village,  Thomas  Hale  Pettingill  and  other 
Salisbury  lawyers;  Ezekiel  Webster  of  Boscawen,  Hamilton  E. 
Perkins  of  Hopkinton  and  many  other  lawyers  in  the  county. 
Prompt  to  resent  any  interference  with  his  personal  or  prop- 
erty rights  and  with  a  keen  interest  in  all  legal  matters, 
Mr.  Thompson  was  almost  constantly  engaged  in  litigation. 
He  frequently  conducted  his  own   ease,   even  when  the  oppo-

lu'iit  was  represented  l).v  sonic  of  the  most  prominent  lawyers 
in  Merrimack  County,  and  the  victory  was  not  always  with  the 
trained  advocate.  He  was  a  fluent  speaker  and  an  advocate  of 
no  ordinary  ability.  His  perception  was  keen,  his  judgment 
prompt  and  greater  opportunities  would  have  without  doubt 
given  him  greater  influence  and  a  broader  reputation.  He  was 
for  many  years  a  member  of  the  Congregational  Church  at  the 
Center. 

George  W.  Thompson. 

Mr.  Thompson  was  born  and  spent  most  of  his  life  in  Andover. 
(See  family.)  For  many  years  he  was  associated  with  his  father 
in  the  management  of  the  extensive  paternal  estate.  After  his 
father  retired  from  business  Mr.  Thompson  conducted  the  affairs 
of  the  large  farm  until  he  became  interested  in  the  store  at 
Potter  Place.  After  a  few  years  he  moved  to  Lexington,  Mass., 
where  he  resided  until  his  death,  January  5,  1890.  Mr.  Thomp- 
son was  an  active,  enthusiastic  farmer  and  business  man  and  was 
interested  in  all  that  pertained  to  the  welfare  of  the  town.  Po- 
litically he  was  a  zealous  Democrat  and  was  chosen  by  his  fellow 
townsmen  to  the  most  important  offices  in  town. 

Major  John  P.  Thompson,  U.  S.  A. 

John  Proctor  Thompson  was  born  in  Andover  and  attended  the 
district  school  and  the  academy  at  the  Center  Village.  While 
still  a  schoolboy  he  enlisted  October  28,  1861,  and  was  mustered 
in  as  a  private  in  Co.  I,  N.  H.  Battalion  of  the  1st  Regt.,  Rhode 
Island  Cavalry.  He  re-enlisted  January  2,  1864.  In  February, 
1864,  the  four  companies,  I,  K,  L  and  M  of  the  N.  H.  battalion- 
returned  to  New  Hampshire  to  recruit  the  regiment  afterwards 
known  as  the  1st  N.  H.  Cavalry,  of  which  they  formed  the  nu- 
cleus. 

Mr.  Thompson  was  appointed  second  lieutenant  Co.  C.  ]\Iarch 
17,  1864,  and  was  promoted  to  first  lieutenant  June  10,  1865,  but 
was  not  mustered.  He  was  mustered  out  July  15,  1865.  On  Feb- 
ruary 23,  1866,  he  again  entered  the  service,  receiving  the  ap- 
pointment of  second  lieutenant  in  the  3d  Infantry,  U.  S.  army. 
He  was  promoted  to  first  lieutenant  July  24.  1867,  and  to  cap- 
tain April  20.  1886.       He  served  at  Fort  Leavenworth.   Fort 


Brief  Biographical  Sketches.  435 

Larned,  Camp  Supply,  Ind.  Ter'y,  and  at  Holly  Springs,  Miss. 
He  served  two  years  on  recruiting  service  and  rejoined  his  regi- 
ment at  New  Orleans  in  1876.  He  served  at  Huntsville,  Ala. ; 
in  Pittsburg  during  the  riots  in  1877,  eleven  years  at  Ft.  Mis- 
soula, Montana,  and  afterwards  at  Ft.  Meade,  Ft.  Sully  and  Ft. 
Snelling.  He  was  retired  for  disability  on  his  own  application, 
after  thirty  years'  service,  JMay  18,  1893.  After  retirement  he 
was  promoted  to  the  rank  of  major,  completing  a- long  and  active 
service  in  many  branches,  from  private  to  the  honorable  rank  of 
major  U.  S.  army.     He  retains  his  official  residence  in  Andover. 

Jonathan  Weare. 

Dea.  Jonathan  Weare  was  born  in  Seabrook,  X.  H.,  and  came 
to  Andover  about  1778.  He  was  one  of  the  most  respected  and 
useful  citizens  of  the  town.  When  the  town  was  incorporated  in 
1779  ]Mr.  Weare  was  unanimously  recommended  by  the  voters  of 
the  town  for  appointment  as  the  first  justice  in  the  new  organi- 
zation. He  was  afterwards  chosen  town  clerk  eighteen  times, 
selectman  sixteen  times  and  representative  five  times. 

Nathan  Woodbury 

Descended  from  the  men  of  the  second  wave  of  immigration 
into  this  town,  when  the  skilled  artisan  and  mechanic  arrived 
to  supplement  the  earlier  work  of  the  hunter  and  farmer;  ^Mr. 
Nathan,  son  of  Dea.  Nathan,  Woodbury,  has  spent  his  entire  life 
in  Andover  and  now  resides  in  the  home  of  his  boyhood.  He  ac- 
quired his  education  at  the  district  schools  and  at  Andover  Acad- 
emy, after  which  he  was  a  successful  teacher  for  several  winters. 
A  dutiful  student,  a  conscientious  teacher  and  a  good  citizen 
are  the  distinguishing  features  of  Mr.  Woodbury's  life.  For 
many  years  he  has  steadily  followed  his  business  as  a  farmer  and 
has  been  a  noted  member  of  the  grange  and  a  prominent  mem- 
ber and  officer  of  the  Masonic  fraternity.  He  has  been  actively 
interested  in  the  progress  of  the  town  history,  has  furnished 
much  important  material  for  the  work  and  has  been  ever  helpful 
and  zealous  in  all  good  works  for  the  prosperity  of  the  town. 


AUTHORS  AND  BOOKS. 


Andover  has  always  been  essentially  a  farming  town  and  the 
busy  life  of  those  who  wrest  a  living  from  the  soil  of  New  Hamp- 
shire is  not  favorable  to  the  writing  of  many  books  or  to  most 
other  forms  of  literary  effort.  In  some  cases,  however,  good 
original  work  has  been  accomplished,  and  many  books  have  been 
written  and  compiled  by  natives  and  their  descendants,  as  well 
as  by  residents. 

A  complete  catalogue  of  those  who  have  wielded  the  pen  with 
success  is,  at  short  notice,  practically  impossible,  but  the  follow- 
ing is  a  partial  list : 

Rev.  Otis  R.  Bachelder,  M.  D.,  Missionary  in  India. 
Hinduism  and  Christianity  in  Orissa,  India. 

Rev.  Ebenezer  Chase. 

Published  the  Religious  Informer,  a  monthly  paper,  16  p., 
octavo,  from  1819  to  1823,  and  a  Masonic  paper,  the  Cas- 
ket, doing  all  the  work,  from  editor  to  pressman,  himself. 
Most  of  his  time  was  occupied  in  printing  the  work  of  others.

The  above  enumeration  shows  the  number  of  inhabitants  in 
1850  to  have  been  1,218.  The  census  office  reported  a  population 
of  1,220,  but  the  rolls  now  in  the  census  office  show  two  dupli- 
cate names  in  the  returns.  It  is  quite  probable  that  several 
names  were  omitted  by  the  enumerator,  for  no  mention  is  made 
in  the  returns  of  the  family,  five  in  number,  of  David  Merrill. 
Adding  Merrill 's  family  to  the  above  list,  we  have  for  the  popu- 
lation in  1850,  1,223.

nual number  of  sheep  in  town  was  400.  Between  1830  and 
1865  the  average  number  was  over  3,200.  In  one  year  the  num- 
ber was  above  4,400.  In  several  years  between  1848  and  1860 
the  price  of  wool  was  between  50  and  60  cents  per  pound.

beaver  skins,  which  he  obtained  at  the  "Great  Meadows,"  now 
"Danbnry  Bog."  The  wild  grass  of  the  beaver  meadow,  then 
designated  "Call's  Meadow,"  since  then  as  "Kollins"  or  "Flag- 
hole"  meadow,  yielded  sufficient  hay  to  keep  his  yoke  of  small 
oxen  and  his  cow.  He  was  soon  able  to  get  additional  hay  from 
various  spots  in  his  clearing,  all  being  eked  out  by  birch  twigs. 

William  Morey  owned  the  second  cow  in  town.  When  he 
moved  to  Andover  he  drove  a  cow  and  calf  up  through  the 
woods  of  Stevenstown,  now  Salisbury,  to  his  log  cabin,  near  that 
of  Mr.  Fellows.  The  path  was  covered  with  ice  and  both  cow 
and  calf  were  "half  shod,"  forward,  for  the  journey.  Iron 
shoes  were  nailed  to  the  inside  claw  of  the  fore  foot.  Mr. 
Frank  W.  Proctor  has  one  of  the  calf  shoes.  It  is  a  good,  hand- 
made shoe,  in  a  good  state  of  preservation.  The  dimensions  are: 
Length,  2  1-8  inches;  greatest  width,  15-16  inches;  1-16  in  thick- 
ness and  the  calks  are  1-4  inch  high. 

The  grass  on  the  natural  or  so-called  "wild"  meadows  was 
considered  common  property  until  the  owners  of  those  tracts  ar- 
rived to  claim  their  rights. 

All  team  work  on  farms  was  done  with  oxen  until  about  1840, 
when  Willard  Emery  is  supposed  to  have  been  the  first  to  use  a 
pair  of  horses  to  do  heavy  farm  work  in  town.  He  had  bought 
the  Barber  place  at  East  Andover  village  and  there  he  used 
horses  for  all  the  work,  even  "breaking  up"  greensward  with 
four  horses,  a  noted  innovation  in  those  daj^s. 

•  First  Carriages  and  Carpets. 

The  first  one-horse  wagon  in  Andover  was  made  in  Hamp- 
stead,  N.  H.,  and  was  owned  by  Joseph  Brown.  The  vehicle  was 
clumsj^  and  heavy,  without  springs  of  any  kind,  and  was  painted 
with  "spruce  yellow." 

The  second  similar  wagon  was  owned  by  Anthony  Emery. 

The  first  four-wheeled  chaise  or  covered  carriage  was  owned 
by  Samuel  Butterfield  and  the  second  by  Deacon  Josiali  Bach- 
elder. 


Miscellaneous.  459 

Joseph  Philbrick,  Senior,  was  the  first  or  second  owner  of  a 
two-wheeled  chaise. 

It  is  supposed  that  Samuel  Butterfield  was  the  first  possessor 
of  an  imported  woolen  carpet  in  town.  He  had  one  floor  covered 
with  this  fabric  in  1840. 

Soon  after  that  period  several  families  used  carpets  woven  in 
town.  These  home-made  floor  coverings  were  woven  in  colored 
stripes,  of  which  the  warp  was  of  tow,  linen  or  cotton  yarn,  and 
the  filling  of  homespun  and  home-dyed  woolen  ya^n.  It  became 
the  fashion  about  1835  to  paint  the  floor  of  the  "best  room"  or 
parlor  with  ** spruce  yellow,"  but  when  carpets  came  into  use 
that  color  became  the  proper  finish  for  the  kitchen  floors.  Be- 
fore that  epoch  the  kitchen  floor  was  "sanded,"  that  is,  sprinkled 
with  sand,  which  the  skillful  housewife  brushed  into  graceful 
figures  with  her  hemlock  broom. 

Tasks  in  Spinning  and  Weaving. 

About  1800  the  ordinary  stint  for  girls  employed  in  spinning 
woolen  yarn  among  the  farmers  was  five  skeins  per  day.  A 
smart,  active  girl  could  easily  spin  her  allotted  amount  in  about 
six  hours,  leaving  her  plenty  of  time  for  rest  and  recreation. 
The  usual  price  paid  for  wool  spinning  was  fifty  cents  per  week, 
including  board.  It  is  related  at  the  eastern  part  of  the  town 
that  Mrs.  Moses  Rowell  once  wove  fifteen  yards  of  flannel  in  the 
old-fashioned  hand-loom  in  one  day;  and  Miss  Ruth  Robie,  a 
neighbor,  spun  fifteen  skeins  of  woolen  yarn  in  the  same  time. 

A  Feat  in  Tree  Felling. 

Daniel  Cilley,  born  in  1762  and  father  of  Josiah  Cilley  of  East 
Andover,  was  a  noted  wood-chopper.  While  working  for  Jona- 
than Cilley,  Sr.,  it  was  reported  that  he  felled  two  acres  of  old 
growth  trees  in  one  day.  He  notched  the  trees  so  that  each 
should  fall  against  one  or  more  notched  trees  beyond  and  then 
set  them  falling  like  a  row  of  bricks  by  felling  a  "driver" 
against  the  first  notched  tree. 

Pew^  Owners  in  North  Church. 

After  the  North  Church  at  East  Andover  was  repaired  in 
1840,  the  pews  were  sold.     The  following  list  of  purchasers  and

the  prices  paid  was  found  on  a  single  sheet  of  paper  late  in 
1906,  after  the  church  annals  were  printed.  Neither  the  date 
of  sale  nor  the  numbers  of  the  pews  were  given.

Andover  Members  of  a  Baptist  Society  in  Salisbury. 

On  May  25,  1789,  a  meeting  was  held  in  Salisbury,  in  the 
schoolhouse  near  the  residence  of  Abel  Elkins,  in  the  Centre 
Village,  for  the  purpose  of  forming  a  Baptist  Society.  Seventy- 
four  persons  signed  a  "Covenant"  containing,  as  the  princi- 
pal idea,  the  following: 

"We,  therefore,  in  the  view  of  these  things,  as  men,  amidst 
all  the  controversy  of  religionists  and  the  errors  of  the  times, 
would  assume  our  natural  rights  in  the  choice  of  a  religious  sen- 
timent for  oui^elves,  and  do  accordingly,  ha^dng  had  the  oppor- 
tunity to  peruse,  examine  and  determine  upon  several  religious 
schemes  or  sentiments,  presume  voluntarily  to  choose  and  pre- 
fer what  is  called  the  strict  Anti-Pedobaptists  sentiments  of  re- 
ligion and  do  herebv  make  said  sentiments  of  religion  our  own.

taking  it  upon  candid  examination,  according  to  our  best  light 
in  the  Holy  Scriptures,  to  be  the  most  agreeable  thereto."

ing were  residents  of  Andover : 

Bartlett,  Nathan  Hoyt,  Reuben

Hoeing  for  Preaching.

Blake's  Bulletin, 

"Sam"  Blake  lived  on  the  Benjamin  Tucker  place.  When 
a  certain  woman  fell  down  the  cellar  stairs,  "Sam"  posted  the 
following  announcement  on  the  door  of  the  old  North  Church : 


Miscellaneous.  467 

"Mollie  Blaisdell  desires  prayers 
For  falling  down  the  cellar  stairs. 
She  broke  no  bones,  but  bruised  her  meat 
And,  thanks  to  God,  she 's  living  yet. ' ' 

A  New  Remedy, 

While  at  supper  with  his  family,  in  the  house  now  owned  by 
George  F.  Woodward  in  the  Swett  neighborhood,  Mr.  John 
Hobbs  was  startled  by  loud  knocks  and  shouts  at  his  door.  Be- 
fore he  could  reach  the  door  he  was  accosted  by  an  ancient 
maiden  neighbor,  exclaiming,  "0  Mr.  Harbs,  Mr.  Harbs,  our 
Biah's  fell  down  suller  and  wants  a  little  honey  to  put  on't." 

Tit  for  Tat. 

One  of  the  early  residents  on  Andover  Plain  had  some  corn 
planted  near  his  barn.  One  of  his  hens  persisted  in  pulling  the 
corn  as  soon  as  the  young  shoots  appeared.  Thinking  to  check 
the  mischief,  he  killed  the  hen.  This  so  enraged  his  wife  that 
she  went  out  and  pulled  up  all  the  corn  in  sight. 

"Naming  the  Building.'' 

It  was  an  early  custom,  when  the  frame  of  a  building  of  more 
than  ordinary  importance  was  raised,  to  ''name"  or  "toast"  it. 
This  was  done  after  the  ridge-pole,  the  last  piece  of  timber,  was 
put  in  place,  by  a  man  standing  on  the  ridge-pole  and  breaking 
a  bottle  of  rum  (probably  without  spilling  much  rum),  after- 
wards repeating  some  lines,  generally  complimentary  to  the 
owner's  enterprise  and  character.  Sometimes  the  occasion  was 
seized  to  emphasize  a  local  grudge  or  to  point  a  joke. 

About  1820  Jonathan  Roberts  erected  a  grist-mill  on  the  inlet 
of  Elbow  Pond,  just  above  the  sawmill  afterwards  owned  by 
Samuel  Morrill.  When  the  frame  of  Roberts'  mill  was  raised, 
it  was  "named"  by  Samuel  Keniston  in  the  following  lines: 

"Here's  a  fine  frame  put  up  for  a  mill 
By  the  owner's  industry,  and  the  neighbors'  good  will. 
He  grinds  for  his  meal,  and  mows  for  his  grass ; 
Here 's  hoping  he  '11  get  the  toll  all  away  from  old  Cass. ' ' 


468  History  of  Andover. 

The  "Old  Cass"  referred  to  was  the  miller  at  the  East  An- 
dover Villag:e. 

When  the  frame  for  the  large  blacksmith  shop  of  Col.  Jona- 
than Weare  was  raised  on  Taunton  Hill,  the  following  lines  were 
repeated  by  Samuel  Keniston,  who  seems  to  have  been  in  de- 
mand for  such  occasions: 

"Here's  a  fine  frame  raised  upon  a  hill; 
The  owner  is  rich,  and  growing  richer  still. 
He  makes  very  good  shoes,  ploughshares  and  axes. 
And  steals  enough  out  of  his  hoes  to  pay  all  his  taxes." 

"When  Keniston  came  down  from  the  frame  Colonel  Weare  took 
him  by  the  collar,  saying,  ' '  Sara,  you  dog,  what  did  you  tell  that 
lie  for? 

"Oh,"  said  Keniston,  "I  was  obliged  to  for  the  rhyme.  I 
knew  it  was  a  lie  when  I  said  that  you  made  very  good  shoes, 
ploughshares  and  axes." 

Dr.  Silas  Merrill  built  the  house  now  occupied  by  William  L. 
Bennett  on  Taunton  Hill.  When  the  frame  was  raised,  in  1818, 
a  bottle  of  rum  was  broken  on  the  ridge-pole  and  from  the  same 
elevation  the  following  lines  were  delivered : 

"Here  is  a  fine  frame  raised  on  Taunton  Hill, 
The  owner  is  rich  and  growing  richer  still ; 
May  health  come  upon  us  like  showers  of  grace, 
And  the  owner  get  rich  by  the  sweat  of  his  face." 

The  good  "vvill  in  the  above  sentiment  has  been  the  heritage 
of  all  the  doctors  who  have  since  occupied  the  house. 

Drinks  on  Town-Meeting  Day. 

From  the  establishment  of  the  first  stores  in  town  down  to  at 
least  1830,  most,  if  not  all,  traders  in  this  and  adjoining  towns 
sold  all  kinds  of  spirituous  liquors,  but  New  England  rum  was 
the  favorite  drink.  Early  in  the  nineteenth  century  all  stores 
were  licensed  to  sell  liquors  in  any  quantities.  Special  licenses 
were  issued  to  accommodate  the  thirsty  voters  on  "town  meeting 
day."  The  following  are  specimens  of  such  licenses.  It  should 
be  noted  that  the  barnj-ard  of  Benjamin  Cass  was  near  the  vot- 
ing place.     In  March,  1821,  the  selectmen  licensed  Joseph  Tilton 


Miscellaneous.  469 

"to  sell  and  retail  spirituous  liquors  by  small  quantities  in  Mr. 
Benjamin  Cass'  shed  by  his  barn." 

The  next  year  the  annual,  periodic  thirst  was  recognized  in  the 
following  document: 

"This  may  certify  that  we,  the  subscribers,  the  Selectmen  of 
Andover,  do  hereby  approbate  Jacob  M.  Brown  and  Jonah 
Goodwill  to  sell,  and  mix  and  sell,  all  kinds  of  spirituous  liquors 
within  the  limits  of  Mr.  Benjamin  Cass'  cow  yard  and  at  no 
other  place,  for  the  term  of  one  month.

Blake  's  Masonic  Hall. 

Hezekiah  Blake  erected  the  first  Masonic  hall  in  Andover.  It 
was  connected  with  his  dwelling-house,  was  well  finished  and  or- 
namented with  Masonic  emblems.  About  that  time  Mr.  Blake, 
who  was  somewhat  eccentric,  purchased  of  the  Lord  Timothy 
Dexter  estate  in  Massachusetts  a  number  of  life-sized  busts,  rep- 
resenting such  historical  characters  as  Washington,  Bonaparte, 
etc.,  and  placed  one  on  each  post  of  the  fence  that  enclosed  his 
front  yard  and  the  entrance  to  the  hall. 

On  the  first  of  January,  after  the  hall  was  completed,  Mr. 
Blake  gave  a  New  Year's  party  and  ball  to  his  friends  in  town 
and  to  some  guests  from  adjoining  towns.  Dr.  Jacob  Bailey 
Moore  was  asked  to  make  some  remarks,  and  at  the  close  of  a 
brief  speech  he  recited  the  following  impromptu  lines : 

"We've  gathered  in  Masonic  Hall 
To  welcome  and  shake  hands  with  all ; 
To  give  our  friends  right  hearty  cheer. 
To  hail  another  happy  year. 

This  hall  adorned,  red,  blue  and  white, 
These  hearts  all  beating  with  delight, 
A  hundred  brilliant,  sparkling  eyes, 
All  tell  how  much  these  joys  we  prize.

Our  aged  friends  have  come  along 
To  join  the  young  and  happjy  throng; 
See  every  age  and  class  advance, 
Ready  to  join  the  merry  dance. 

So  let  sweet  music  stir  the  air, 

And  banish  every  gloomy  care.

That  time  should  be  on  New  Year's  Day." 

A  Bit  of  Romance. 

About  1810  there  lived  in  the  state  of  New  York  a  young 
couple,  who  had  been  married  about  a  year,  and  had  a  young 
daughter.  The  age  of  the  father  was  about  twenty;  of  the 
mother,  about  sixteen  years.  The  young  husband  left  home  and 
joined  the  army.  The  mother  and  child  were  received  by  her 
friends,  who  were  so  incensed  by  the  conduct  of  the  young 
soldier  that  they  prevented  any  communication  between  hus- 
band and  wife  until  it  was  reported  that  death  had  given  the 
soldier  his  long  furlough. 

In  the  meantime  a  rumor  had  reached  the  husband  that  his 
wife  was  dead  and  his  daughter  was  well  cared  for  by  her 
mother's  friends.  Within  a  few  years  both  father  and  mother 
married  again.  After  many  years  they  were  widowed  again  and 
were  growing  old.  As  a  result  of  a  long  investigation  the  father 
learned  that  his  daughter  was  alive  and  was  the  wife  of  a  botanic 
physician  living  at  East  Andover.  He  started  on  his  long 
journey  to  find  his  daughter,  and  a  short  time  before  reaching 
his  destination  he  was  accosted  by  an  elderly  woman  in  the 
next  seat,  who  inquired  if  the  next  station  was  East  Andover, 
and  she  was  told  that  it  was.  As  the  train  stopped,  the  elderly 
people  alighted  and  walked  along  the  village  street  together,  un- 
til the  woman  inquired  of  a  villager  where  Doctor  Durkee  lived, 
saying  to  her  fellow  traveler,  who  was  standing  bj^,  about  to 
make  the  same  inquiry:     "Mrs.  Durkee  is  my  daughter." 

He  exclaimed :     ' '  Who  are  you ?     Tell  me,  for  God's  sake ! ' '

On  Thanksgiving  Day,  1853,  Rev.  Oliver  Butler  re-married

the  long  separated  husband  and  ^vife;  and  it  is  supposed  that 
they  "lived  happy,"  if  not  long,  "ever  afterwards." 

A  Characteristic  Dun. 

A  ladies'  society  connected  with  a  church  in  the  village  at 
"Centre  Road"  in  Salisbury  had  an  account  against  one  of  the 
villagers,  which  he  did  not  pay.  The  society  sent  the  bill  for 
collection  to  John  M.  Shirley,  attorney  in  Andover.  Mr.  Shirley 
sent  the  delinquent  the  following  note : 
''Mr.  •• 

' '  Dear  Sir  :  A  small  account  is  left  at  my  office  for  collection. 
The  cause  of  Christ  languishes  because  of  the  coldness  of  your 
faith  and  backsliding  from  the  tenets  of  grace.  The  cause  of  the 
great  Nazarene  must  be  maintained  at  all  hazards.  Please  walk 
up  and  settle." 

A  Search  for  a  Wipe. 

Mark  Bachelder,  son  of  Reuben  of  Hampton  Falls,  mounted 
his  horse  and  started  out  to  search  for  a  wife.  His  first  visit  was 
paid  to  the  daughter  of  Samuel  Rano,  an  early  settler  in  An- 
dover. Finding  her  in  the  barnyard,  milking  her  father's  cows, 
he  rode  up  to  the  fence  and  promptly  made  known  the  object  of 
his  visit.  Startled  by  the  abrupt  proposal  of  marriage  under 
such  circumstances,  she  hesitated,  and  was  not  inclined  to  give, 
then  and  there,  a  favorable  answer,  when  Mark,  tightening  the 
bridle  reins  as  if  to  ride  off,  called  out  impetuously:  "Come 
now,  off  or  on,  what  do  you  say?"  Nabby's  exact  reply  is  un- 
known, but  it  is  likely  that  Mark  received  some  encouragement, 
for  not  long  after,  in  1788,  the  maid  became  Bachelder 's  wife 
and  in  due  time  the  mother  of  twelve  children.

Hunters'  Tales. 

As  the  number  of  sheep  in  town  increased,  the  number  of 
bears  seemed  to  increase  in  greater  proportion,  until  their  rav- 
ages among  the  flocks  became  a  serious  matter.  These  animals 
were  frequently  seen  about  the  houses  and  barns  of  the  farmers 
and  manifested  but  little  fear  of  the  people. 

A  bear  came  to  the  house  of  Mr.  True  on  Tucker  Mountain, 
and,  standing  on  its  hind  legs  at  the  kitchen  window,  coolly 
watched  the  women  of  the  family  at  their  work  for  a  few  min- 
utes, and  then  sauntered  off  to  look  for  a  better  prospect  for  his 
dinner. 

Mr.  True  lost  many  sheep;  and  in  one  year,  about  1834,  Me- 
sheck  Weare  lost  twenty  sheep  by  bears.  The  flocks  of  most  of 
the  farmers  in  the  northern  section  of  the  town  suffered  from 
these  depredations.  Mr.  True  was  noted  as  a  bear-hunter  and 
many  of  these  animals  were  killed  by  individual  hunters :  but  as 
these  creatures  lived  among  the  rocks  and  ravines  of  the  long 
range  of  Ragged  Mountain,  Avhence  they  descended  to  raid  the 
flocks  of  the  farmers,  it  seemed  desirable  to  organize  an  effort  to 
kill  as  many  as  possible  and  frighten  the  rest  away. 

In  1833  an  organized  hunt  was  arranged  and  an  attempt  was 
made  to  approach  the  mountain  on  all  sides  by  as  many  men  as 
could  be  induced  to  join  in  the  battue.  The  number  of  men  was 
altogether  too  small  to  cover  the  ground.  Many  bears  were  seen 
but  only  one  was  killed.  In  1834  another  hunt  was  organized, 
with  results  similar  to  those  of  the  preceding  year.  One  cub  was 
killed  and  William  Morey  killed  a  bear  weighing  355  pounds. 
This  animal  was  dressed  and  a  few  days  afterwards  served  to 
the  hunters  and  their  friends  at  a  grand  dinner  at  the  tavern 


Miscellaneous.  473 

at  West  Andover.  During  this  final  hunt,  so  much  noise  was 
made  by  shouting  and  the  firing  of  guns  that  the  surviving  ani- 
mals, of  which  several  were  seen,  were  probably  frightened 
away,  for  no  serious  damage  has  been  done  by  bears  since  that 
period. 

MOREY  AND  THE  CATAMOUNT. 

When  John  Morey  and  a  companion  were  hunting  foxes 
around  the  northern  base  of  Kearsarge  Mountain,  they  were 
astonished  to  see  their  dogs  running  towards  them  at  full  speed, 
closely  followed  by  a  large  animal,  evidently  bent  on  making  a 
meal  of  fox-hound.  His  companion  fled  and  Morey  was  afraid 
to  shoot  lest  he  might  kill  one  of  his  dogs.  The  animal  was  soon 
upon  him.  With  one  hand  he  grasped  the  creature's  throat  and 
with  the  other  hand  he  seized  a  hind  leg.  The  fight,  which  at 
first  seemed  unequal  and  in  favor  of  the  beast,  was  to  a  finish. 
The  grip  on  the  animal's  throat  was  not  relaxed  and  Morey 
strove  to  prevent  fatal  wounds  from  the  free  hind  foot.  At  the 
end  of  the  struggle  the  animal  was  dead  and  the  hunter  was 
exhausted,  his  clothes  in  rags  and  his  body  covered  with  blood. 
On  partially  recovering  his  strength,  he  swung  the  catamount  by 
the  hind  legs  over  his  shoulder  and  started  for  home,  the  nose 
of  the  dead  beast  touching  the  ground  as  his  captor  trudged 
slowly  and  painfully  on. 

The  Bear  Near  Bradley  Pond. 

While  clearing  his  farm  on  Beech  Hill,  about  1793,  Ephraim 
Eastman  found  fresh  traces  of  a  bear  among  some  blackberry 
bushes  in  a  "windfall,"  at  the  foot  of  a  precipitous  ledge,  sit- 
uated just  north  of  the  road  now  leading  from  the  Eastman  farm- 
house to  the  Fitzgerald  farm.  The  next  morning  he  set  a  "log 
trap,"  or  "deadfall,"  using  for  bait  the  offal  from  a  pig,  which 
Jedediah  Sleeper,  with  whom  he  boarded,  had  killed  the  previous 
day.  When  he  quit  work  for  the  day  he  went  around  to  his 
trap  and  found  a  large  bear  that  had  been  caught  and  killed  by 
the  fall  of  the  heavy  log.  He  lifted  the  log  from  the  bear 's  neck, 
put  him  on  his  shoulder  and  started  for  Mr.  Sleeper's.  On 
reaching  the  top  of  the  hill,  where  Henry  M.  Thompson  now 
lives,  he  dropped  the  bear  in  order  to  rest.     After  his  excitement 


474  History  of  Andover. 

had  somewhat  abated  and  he  was  readj^  to  resume  his  way,  he 
found,  to  his  amazement,  that  he  could  not  lift  the  bear  to  his 
shoulder  again.  Hearing  the  sound  of  chopping  at  the  house 
of  Mr.  Sleeper,  Avho  lived  near  the  present  house  of  Orrin  Stet- 
son, Mr.  Eastman  shouted  for  assistance.  Mr.  Sleeper  came. 
They  tied  the  bear's  legs  together,  slung  him  on  a  pole,  which 
they  put  on  their  shoulders,  and  proudly  carried  the  body  of 
Bruin  home. 

Bear  at  East  Andover. 

Early  in  the  history  of  the  town  Edward  Ladd  treed  a  bear 
and  shot  it  in  a  big  pine  that  stood  in  the  comer  of  what  is  now 
the  garden  of  Weare  D.  Tuttle,  in  the  village  of  East  Andover. 

Wolves. 

About  1790,  in  the  winter,  three  gray  wolves  came  into  the 
barnyard  of  Joseph  Fellows,  Jr.,  and  killed  three  sheep,  one  of 
which  was  dragged  several  rods  from  the  barn. 

In  the  winter,  about  1805,  Nathaniel,  son  of  Joseph  Fellows, 
Jr.,  found  the  trail  of  some  gray  wolves,  who  crossed  the  highway 
near  the  line  between  the  farms  of  Capt.  Lawrence  Ellis  and 
Richard  Sanborn.  These  wolves  were  followed  around  the 
Emery  neighborhood,  south  of  Captain  Marston's,  down  to  the 
lower  pond,  now  Webster  Lake,  which  they  crossed,  leaving  it 
fiear  the  brickyard,  thence  northerly  to  the  Call  road  and  up  a 
valley  to  the  mountain.  The  hunters  followed  them  into  Hill, 
but  abandoned  the  chase  at  nightfall,  though  at  that  time  it 
was  found  that  the  animals  were  lying  down  to  rest  every  few 
minutes. 


SHARES,  LOTS  AND  RANGES. 


The  Division  of  the  Town  into  Shares  and  Lots. 

By  the  terms  of  the  Grant  the  tract  was  to  be  "divided  into 
Eightyone  Shares  or  Eights  &  each  Share  to  be  laid  out  into  three 
Distinct  Lots  the  two  first  to  Contain  each  an  hundred  acres  & 
the  other  all  the  rest  of  the  land  belonging  to  each  Respective 
Share.  That  the  whole  be  laid  out  as  Equitably  as  Possible  that 
the  three  lots  belongs  to  one  share  be  Numbered  with  the  same 
Number  so  as  to  make  but  one  Draught  for  the  three  lots  belong- 
ing to  each  share  That  the  said  land  be  so  laid  out  within  nine 
Months  from  the  Granting  thereof  &  then  the  lots  Drawn  for 
in  the  Usual  Manner  of  Drawing  for  lots  of  land  in  such  Cases 
and  that  this  be  done  at  Portsmouth  aforesaid  under  the  Care 
and  Direction  of  the  Grantors  and  a  true  plan  thereof  Returned 
at  the  same  time  to  the  Grantors. ' ' 

It  was  provided  that  eighteen  of  the  eighty-one  shares  should 
be  reserved  for  the  use  of  the  grantors ;  one  for  the  use  of  the  first 
minister  settled  in  the  grant;  one  for  the  support  of  the  gospel 
ministry  and  one  share  for  the  support  of  schools.  The  remain- 
ing sixty  shares  were  for  the  use  of  the  sixty  grantees. 

On  May  28,  1753,  the  proprietors  appointed  a  committee  to 
procure  a  plan  of  the  tract,  to  lay  this  plan  before  the  grantors 
and  arrange  a  time  and  place  for  drawing  the  lots.  This  com- 
mittee consisted  of  James  Carrick,  Amos  Dwinell  and  Richard 
Smith. 

According  to  this  plan  the  grant  was  divided  into  four  sets  or 
ranges  of  lots;  each  range  beginning  at  the  Pemigewasset  River 
and  running  westerly  to  the  western  boundary.  Each  range  was 
approximately  ten  miles  long  and  one  mile  wide.  The  range 
adjoining  the  Salisbury  line  was  known  as  the  first  range  and 
the  others  were  numbered  consecutively  towards  the  southern 
boundary  of  New   Chester.     These   ranges  were   divided  into 


476  History  of  Andover. 

lots  running  north  and  south  according  to  the  terms  of  the 
original  grant:  each  lot  in  the  western  section  of  the  grant  west 
of  lot  one  in  the  first  range,  being  approximately  one  mile  long 
and  forty  rods  wide,  the  lots  east  of  lot  one  were  approximately 
one  mile  long  and  fifty  rods  wide. 

Between  the  consecutive  ranges  were  rangeways  three  in  num- 
ber and  four  rods  wide,  intended  for  highways.  (See  Map.) 
There  were  also  other  rangeways  shown  on  the  original  map 
of  the  same  w4dth,  running  parallel  to  the  sides  of  the  lots,  and 
intended  for  highways. 

One  of  these  between  lots  61  and  63  in  the  first  range  ran  from 
Salisbury  line  through  the  center  square  to  the  New  Chester 
line.  Three  other  rangeways  west  of  center  square  ran  from 
Salisbury  line  to  New  Chester  line :  The  first  between  lots  75 
and  77 ;  the  second  between  lots  1  and  3 ;  and  the  third  between 
lots  21  and  23.  East  of  the  center  square  were  five  other  range- 
ways  running  in  the  same  direction :  The  first  running  between 
lots  35  and  37  in  third  range,  north  to  New  Chester  line ;  the  sec- 
ond running  between  lots  35  and  37  in  first  range,  north  to  center 
rangeway;  the  third  running  between  lots  53  and  55  in  third 
range,  north  to  New  Chester  line ;  the  fourth  running  between 
lots  17  and  19  in  first  range,  north  to  center  rangeway ;  the  fifth 
running  between  lots  65  and  67  in  third  range,  north  to  New 
Chester  line. 

The  "center  square"  shown  on  Clough's  map  was  about  half 
a  mile  west  of  Loon  Pond  and  was  on  land  o^vned  in  1900  by  N. 
J.  Bachelder,  Joseph  D.  Philbrick  and  F.  H.  Flanders,  and  is 
not  near  any  highway.  It  was  designed  as  the  business  center 
of  the  town;  it  is  now  in  the  woods. 

In  May,  1763,  another  committee  was  appointed  to  run  out  said 
township  anew  and  bound  and  number  every  lot  agreeable  to  the 
plan  formerly  exhibited  and  accepted  by  the  grantors.  This 
committee,  David  Norton,  Richard  Smith,  Benjamin  Eaton,  Ben- 
jamin Tilton  and  Jeremiah  Lane  spent  six  days  at  their  task  and 
claimed  to  have  made  a  thorough  survey  and  di^nsion  according 
to  the  original  plan.  It  was  probably  the  most  accurate  work 
done  up  to  that  time  on  the  grant ;  but  the  surveying  and  mark- 
ing even  the  corner  bounds  of  243  lots,  on  40  square  miles  in  the 


Shares,  Lots  and  Ranges.

dense  wilderness  and  among  the  hills  of  this  town,  in  six  days, 
could  scarcely  be  called  accurate  in  any  degree. 

As  the  settlement  of  the  town  progressed  it  became  evident 
that  the  rangeways  as  originally  planned  were  generally  imprac- 
ticable for  highways.  For  several  years  much  time  w^as  spent  at 
town  meetings  in  disposing  of  various  portions  of  these  four-rod 
strips  of  land.  In  many  cases  sections  of  these  reserved  ranges 
were  transferred  by  vote  of  the  town  to  citizens  whose  lands 
were  contiguous,  as  compensation  for  land  taken  for  highways 
that  ran  in  irregular  courses  across  their  farms. 

The  names  of  the  original  owners  of  the  lots  are  shown  and 
numbered  on  the  accompanying  plan.  In  nearly  every  case  the 
spelling  is  the  same  as  that  on  the  copy  of  the  plan  now  in  the 
possession  of  the  town.  The  six  lots  named  on  the  plan  "Law 
Lotts"  were  transferred  to  William  Parker  and  Samuel  Liver- 
more,  lawyers,  who  were  to  defend  the  proprietors  in  all  suits 
of  law  concerning  the  new  township.

The  following  is  an  alphabetical  list  of  the  original  owners  of 
lots  shown  on  the  accompanying  plan  of  the  township  by  William 
Brown  Clough,  together  with  the  numbers  of  the  ranges  and  of 
the  lots.  The  ranges  of  lots  are  numbered  I,  II,  III  and  IV, 
northward  from  the  south  line  of  the  town.  In  some  instances 
there  are  two  lots  with  the  same  number  in  a  range.  In  such 
cases  the  number  in  the  following  list  is  followed  by  an  E  or  a 
W  as  the  lot  is  east  or  west  of  the  central  line  of  the  original 
township.  The  original  spelling  has  been  followed,  generally, 
save  when  the  correct  spelling  was  necessary  for  the  identifica- 
tion of  the  names.

It  is  perhaps  unnecessary  to  say,  to  any  one  acquainted  with 
the  topography  of  this  town,  that  the  copy  of  the  original  map 
printed  in  this  volume  is  not  a  good  example  of  accurate  map 
making.  Mr.  Clough's  representations  of  the  sizes,  forms  and 
locations  of  the  ponds,  rivers  and  smaller  streams  are,  at  best, 
only  crude  specimens  of  free  hand  sketches.  This  reproduction 
is  presented :  first,  because  it  was  the  most  accurate  map  available 
of  that  epoch;  second,  it  serves  to  fix  the  location  of  the  lots 
which  were  distributed,  by  "drawing,"  to  the  original  owners. 


HISTORY  OF  ANDOVER,  N.  H. 


PART   II 
GENEALOGIES 


GENEALOGY. 


The  following  pages  present  what  was  contained  in  the  notes 
of  Mr.  George  E.  Emery;  and  very  much  more  that  has  been 
gathered  from  personal  knowledge,  from  the  state  and  town  rec- 
ords, from  church  and  family  records,  from  hundreds  of  personal 
interviews  and  from  an  extensive  correspondence,  concerning 
most  of  the  families  that  have  found  homes  in  this  town.  The 
greatest  amount  of  labor  has  been  devoted  to  the  search  for  rec- 
ords of  the  earlier  settlers.  Some  of  this  work  is  fairly  complete, 
but  much  of  it,  after  a  period  of  more  than  a  century,  is  still 
fragmentary. 

A  brief  explanation  will  enable  the  reader  to  follow  readily  the 
arrangement  of  the  different  families  and  the  order  of  the  names 
in  each  family. 

1.  The  several  families  are  arranged  alphabetically. 

2.  The  surname  of  the  family  is  printed  in  large  capitals. 

3.  The  christian  and  the  surname  of  the  head  of  each  sub- 
family, with  the  maiden  name  of  the  wife,  is  printed  in  small 
capitals. 

4.  The  full  maiden  name  of  the  wife  is  given  if  known,  with 
the  surname  in  parenthesis. 

5.  When  the  name  of  a  town  is  given  it  is  assumed  to  be  in 
New  Hampshire,  unless  otherwise  noted. 

6.  Eesidence,  when  not  otherwise  noted,  is  assumed  to  be  in 
Andover. 

7.  In  giving  the  age  of  an  individual,  the  years,  months  and 
days  are  separated  by  a  dash. 

8.  The  usual  abbreviations,  a.  for  aged,  b.  for  born,  d.  for  died, 
dau.  for  daughter,  m.  for  married,  rem.  for  removed,  res.  for  re- 
sided or  resides,  and  t.  r.  for  town  records,  have  been  used. 

9.  In  the  printing  of  surnames,  the  spelling  usually  employed 
by  each  family  has  been  followed.  In  the  case  of  one  large 
family  whose  different  branches,  at  various  periods,  have  written 


4  History  op  Andover. 

the  name  "SiUea,"  "Silly,"  "Selley,"  "Selly,"  "Celley"  and 
"Cilley,"  the  modern  spelling  "Cilley"  has  been  used. 

10.  The  genealogical  data  for  each  family  is  so  arranged  as 
to  follow  out  the  descendants  of  each,  in  order  of  birth,  in  the 
male  lines,  to  the  latest  generation  in  town.  When  children  of 
the  older  families  have  removed  from  town,  the  names  and  dates 
are  continued  generally,  if  known,  for  one  generation. 

It  is  practically  impossible  to  avoid  errors  in  names  and  dates, 
though  great  care  has  been  observed  in  this  respect.  Frequently 
the  different  members  of  the  same  family  do  not  agree  concern- 
ing dates  of  births,  marriages  and  deaths,  and  in  most  of  such 
cases  the  data  cannot  be  verified  now  by  trustworthy  records.

BACHELDER. 
Rev.  Stephen  Bachileb,  b.  in  England  1561;  grad.  Oxford  University; 
vicar  of  Whewell  1587-8  to  1605,  when  he  was  ejected  as  a  non- 
conformist; preached  to  various  congregations  till  1631-2,  when 
he  sailed  for  Boston  in  the  ship  William  and  Frances.  There 
were  60  passengers  and  the  voyage  lasted  88  days.  Preached 
first  in  Lynn,  Mass.,  then  in  Hampton  and  Portsmouth,  N.  H., 
and  lived  a  short  time  on  Cape  Cod.  He  finally  returned  to 
England  about  1654  and  died  in  Hackney  parish,  2  miles  from 
London,  in  1660.  He  was  married  three  times  and  was  sur- 
vived by  his  last  wife.  Mr.  Bachiler  was  a  man  of  great 
force  of  character  but  was  so  irascible,  controversial  and  un- 
conventional that  he  was  soon  in  trouble  with  the  churches 
where  he  served  as  pastor.  Many  of  his  descendants  have  been 
people  of  sterling  character.

BROWN. 

A  large  majority  of  the  people  who  have  borne  the  name  of  Bbown 
in  Andover  were  descended  from  two  men  who  came  from  England  to 
America,  one  in  1634,  the  other  in  1635,  and  settled  in  Massachusetts. 
The  larger  number  of  Browns  in  town  were  descended  from  Richabd, 
who  was  of  Southampton,  England.  The  members  of  the  other  branch 
of  the  family  were  descended  from  John,  who  was  of  Scottish  descent, 
but  born  in  London. 

For  many  years  the  members  of  the  later  generations  have  encount- 
ered diflSculties  in  tracing  their  direct  descent  from  their  respective 
ancestors  in  this  country.  The  principal  confusion  arose  from  a  mar- 
riage in  1758.  On  Feb.  17,  1726,  Jonathan,  a  direct  descendant  of  John 
Brown,  m.  in  the  2d  church  in  Salisbury,  Mass.,  Joanna  Abba,  who  d. 
Sept.  7,  1757,  in  Kensington,  N.  H.  On  Dec.  8,  1726,  in  the  same  church, 
Joshua,  a  direct  descendant  of  Richard  Brown,  m.  Joanna  Mobbill. 
Joshua  d.  April  23,  1756.  Jonathan  had  ten  children,  and  Joshua  had, 
at  least,  eight.  On  Nov.  30,  1758,  Jonathan  m.  Joanna,  the  widow  of 
Joshua.  Most  of  the  confusion  in  tracing  the  ancestry  centered  about 
these  marriages,  mainly  because  the  two  wives  bore  the  same  Christian 
name.     But  no  children  were  born  after  the  second  marriage,  and  the 


Genealogies.  ,  29 

two  lines  of  descent  still  remained  distinct.  The  pages  immediately  fol- 
lowing contain  such  data  as  could  be  found  concerning  the  descendants 
01  both  Richard  and  Johx. 


RICHARD  BROWN. 

The  vessel  Mary  and  John  sailed  from  London,  England,  in  March 
and  reached  Boston,  Mass.,  in  May,  1634.  Among  the  passengers  were 
George,  Richard  and  Sarah,  children  of  Joseph  Browx  of  Southampton, 
England.  Sarah  was  the  wife  of  Rev.  James  Noyes,  who  became  the 
associate  pastor  and  teacher  of  the  First  Church  at  Newbury,  Mass. 
Mr.  Noyes  d.  Oct.  21,  1656;  Sarah  d.  July  13,  1691;  10  ch.  George 
Brown,  with  his  brother,  and  Mr.  Noyes  and  his  wife,  settled  first  at 
Agawam,  now  Ipswich,  Mass.,  but  were  residents  of  Newbury,  Mass., 
in  1635.  George  Brown  was  a  proprietor  at  Newbury  in  1637;  made  a 
freeman  May  13,  1640,  and  d.  Aug.  1,  1642,  leaving  a  wife  but  no  chil- 
dren. 

Richard  Brown  became  one  of  the  prominent  citizens  of  Newbury  and 

d.  April  26,  1661;   m.   (1),  Edith  ,  who  d.  April,  1647;   m. 

(2),  Feb.  16,  1648,  Elizabeth  (Greenleaf)  Badger,  widow  of  Giles 
Badger  of  Newbury  and  dau.  of  Edmund  and  Sarah  (Dole)  Green-

CILLEY. 

The  Cilley  families  in  Andover  were  all  descendants  of  Thomas  and 
Bexoxi  of  the  third  generation  in  New  England.     Thomas  and  Benoni 


70  History  op  Andover. 

were  sons  of  Richard,  who  was  the  son  of  Capt.  Robert  and  Maby 
Seely,  at  one  time  residents  of  Watertown,  Mass. 

The  family  that  lived  on  Boston  Hill  was  descended  from  Thomas; 
Benoni  was  the  ancestor  of  the  four  other  families. 

Five  men  in  Andover  named  Benjamin  Ch-ley  were  known  by  special 
names : 

The  first  Benjamin,  1742-1822,  who  kept  a  tavern  at  the  Center,  was 
"Affy  Ben." 

His  son,  Benjamin,  1766-1847,  was  "Mompey  Ben." 
Benjamin,  the  son  of  John,  1765-1824,  was  "Great  Ben." 
Benjamin,  the  sou  of  Edmund  H.,  1813-1863,  was  "Capt.  Ben." 
Benjamin  Daiiling,  the  son  of  Philip,  1803-1876,  was  "Ben  D." 
The  wife  of  the  first  Benjamin  was  Apphia,  hence  "Affy  Ben." 
The  second  Benjamin  lived  on  "Mompey"  Hill. 
The  third  Benjamin  owed  his  distinctive  name  to  his  size. 

Richard,  son  of  Capt.  Robert  and  Mary  "Seely,"  or  "Sealy,"  as  they 
wrote  it,  came  from  Watertown,  Mass.;  was  a  magistrate  at 
Isles  of  Shoals  in  1653;  afterwards  moved  to  Hampton  Falls. 
Mary  had  administration  of  Capt.  Robert's  estate  in  Water- 
town,  Mass.,  in  1668.

teen years.

Hilton  castle,  which  is  still  standing  and  occupied  as  a  residence.  As  a 
further  reward  the  Hyltons  were  created  one  of  the  large  baronial  fam-

HUNTOON. 

Philip  Huntoon,  probably  the  first  of  his  name  in  New  England,  came 
to  America  when  a  boy.  So  far  as  now  known  there  is  no  au- 
thentic account  of  his  ancestry.  One  account  relates  that  his 
family,  Huntou,  left  France  after  the  revocation  of  the  Edict  of 
Nantes  and  sought  refuge  in  the  island  of  Jersey,  whence  Philip 
came  to  this  country.  Another  account,  probably  less  authen- 
tic, claims  that  he  was  of  English  descent.  Soon  after  his  ar- 
rival in  America  he  was  employed  by  a  man  named  Hall  in 
Exeter,  N.  H.  He  m.  (1)  Betsey  Hall,  the  dau.  of  his  em- 
ployer in  Exeter,  where  he  res.  several  years.     He  moved  to 

Kingston  about  1703.     He  m.    (2)   Haxxah  ,  who  d.  in

MARSTON. 

Capt.  William,  the  immigrant  ancestor  of  the  Andover  Marstons,  was  b. 
in  England  about  1592.  It  is  claimed  that  he  was  in  Salem, 
Mass.,  in  1633,  and  that  he  was  one  of  the  grantees  of  Hampton, 
N.  H.,  in  1638.  He  was  granted  land  in  Hampton  June  30,  1840. 
It  is  thought  that  he  had  a  wife  living  in  1651,  but  that  she  died 
a  few  years  later.  He  m.  about  1662  Sabixa  Page,  who  sur- 
vived him  and  was  the  executrix  of  his  will.  It  is  known  that 
Sabina  had  one  child,  Tryphena,  some  accounts  say  four,  but 
that  is  ratlier  unlikely.  Mr.  Marston  lived  in  Hampton  near 
the  site  of  the  town  house  as  it  stood  in  1890.  Mr.  Marston  d. 
at  Hampton  June  30,  1672,  a.  about  80y.

osgood-rowell. 

There  is  a  tradition  in  the  Osgood  family  that  Haxxah  Rowell,  who 
m.  Bexjamix  Osgood  March  7,  1754,  was  the  dau.  of  Mary  Barker.  The 
tradition  runs  that  Mary  Barker  and  her  brother  were  born  in  Ireland. 
Her  brother  decided  to  come  to  America  but  Mary  would  not  consent 
to  leave  her  friends  and  country  to  come  with  him.  She  did,  however, 
decide  to  stay  on  the  ship  with  her  brother  the  last  night  before  sail- 
ing. In  the  morning  the  vessel  was  well  out  to  sea  and  there  was  no 
money  to  pay  her  fare.  On  reaching  Massachusetts  she  was  sold  to 
raise  money  to  pay  her  passage.  A  young  man  named  Rowell,  whom  she 
met  on  the  ship,  became  interested  in  her,  and,  after  several  years'  labor 
to  get  money  to  satisfy  the  claim,  he  married  her. 

So  far  no  verification  of  this  story  has  been  found.

PAGE. 

It  has  boon  very  difficult  to  ti'ace  tlio  conuections  in  the  Page  family 
of  which  there  have  been  several  representatives  in  the  town.  From 
town  records  it  is  known  that  Phineas  Page  lived,  in  ISOO,  in  the 
vicinity  of  the  Dea.  Sam  Cilley  hill. 

At  the  same  time  Joshua  Page,  Ohi.ando  Page  and  Joseph  Page,  all 
voters,  lived  in  the  Flaghole  school  district.  From  Mr.  Badcock's 
record  it  is  found  that  "Mr.  Page"  d.  Feb.  20,  1812,  and  on  March  2, 
1802,  "Mr.  Joshua  Page  lost  his  wife." 

It  is  highly  probable,  but  not  absolutely  certain,  that  these  last  two 
records  refer  to  Joshua  Page  and  his  wife  and  that  they  were  the 
parents  of  the  following  seven  children.

In  Andover  and  adjoining  towns  the  above  name  is  spelled  in  several 
ways.  In  the  town  and  family  records  in  Andover  are  found  Pervere, 
Pervier,  Pevear,  Pevair  and  Peveare.  As  the  latter  spelling  seems  to 
be  most  frequently  used,  it  has  been  adopted  for  the  families  connected 
with  the  history  of  this  town.  In  other  cases  the  spelling  as  found  has 
been  followed.

WATSON. 

Nathan  Watson,  b.  in  Wales  in  1729;   m.  in  Wales;   came  to  N.  H.  in 
1752. 

Ruth  Bean,  b.  in  Wales  1726;  m.  in  Wales;  came  to  N.  H.  in  1752. 
Nathan  Watson  d.  in  1821. 
Ruth  (Bean)  Watson  d.  in  1819. 

Nathan  W^atson  m.  Ruth  HinksoxN,  and  was  a  farmer  in  Notting- 
ham, N.  H.  Rev.  Elijah  Watson  made  the  following  entry  in  his  family 
Bible:  "My  honored  father  died  Dec.  7,  1825,  in  the  78th  year  of  his 
age."  In  a  deed  of  land  made  May  28,  1772,  Nathan  Watson,  his  wife, 
Ruth,  Samuel  Ilinkson  and  Abigail  Hinkson,  the  last  three  children  of 
Robert  Ilinkson,  disposed  of  all  their  title  and  rights  to  Ezekiel  Clough. 

In  the  above  it  is  plain  that  Nathan,  Elijah's  father,  could  not  have 
been  the  Nathan  b.  in  Wales  in  1729.  It  is  also  known  that  Nathan  Wat- 
son's wife,  Ruth  (Hinkson)  W^atson,  d.  at  the  home  of  her  son,  Josiah,  in 
Berwick,  Me.,  Dec.  12,  1831. 

It  is  therefore  probable,  but  not  proved,  that  Nathan,  the  father  of 
Rev.  Elijah,  was  the  son  of  Nathan  Watson  and  Ruth  Bean  who  were 
born  and  married  in  Wales. 

According  to  the  above  theory,  the  early  genealogy  of  the  Watson  fam- 
ily would  be  as  follows,  down  as  far  as  Rev.  Elijah  Watson.  Since  the 
date  of  his  birth  the  line  is  easily  followed. 

Nathan,  sou  of  Nathan  and  Ruth   (Beau)    Watson,  was  b.  ;  d. 

Dec.  7,  1825,  a.  77 ;  m.  Ruth  Hinkson,  b.  Epping,  N.  H.,  Jan. 
2,  1748 ;  d.  at  home  of  her  son,  Josiah,  in  Berwick.  Me.,  Dec. 
12,  1831. 

Phebe,  b.  ;  d.  Dec.  30,  1825.  in  54th  year  of 

her  age.

NANCY  AND  DOLLY  BLAKE. 

Mrs.  Nancy  Scott  of  Derby  Line,  Vt.,  writes,  Dec.  28,  1908,  that  her 
grandmother,  the  wife  of  Ezekiel  Fellows,  was  Nancy  Blake  of  Andover, 
N.  H.,  and  a  sister  of  Samuel  Blake,  who  res.  and  d.  in  Georgia,  Vt. 
This  Samuel  was  the  son  of  Dea.  Samuel  Blake,  who  settled  in  New 
Breton  about  1767  (see  p.  25).  The  names  of  four  sons  are  given  but 
no  daughters  are  mentioned.  In  Mr.  Emery's  notes  the  wife  of  Ezekiel 
Fellows  is  called  Dolly,  the  dau.  of  Lt.  William   Blake,   and   it  is  so 


Genealogies.  399 

printed  on  p.  26.  This  is  probably  wrong.  Since  pp.  25  and  26  were 
printed  it  has  been  found  that  Dolly  Blake  was  b.  Jan.,  1777,  and  m. 
Joseph  Emery  ^see  p.  140). 


FELLOWS. 

EzEKiEL,  son  of  Joseph  and  Margaret  (Webster)  Fellows,  b.  Kings- 
ton Aug.  25,  1754;  res.  in  Andover  and  in  Bridgewater;  d.  in 
Brldgewater  Oct.  10,  1843.  His  wife  was  Nancy  Blake.  One 
account,  the  only  one  known  till  1909,  and  printed  on  p.  148, 
gives  her  name  as  Dolly,  the  dau.  of  Dea.  William  Blake.  Dolly 
would  have  been  20  or  30  years  younger  than  Ezekiel.  Some 
of  his  descendants  say  that  his  wife  was  Nancy  Blake,  which  is 
probably  true.  Nancy  Blake's  brother,  Samuel,  res.  and  d. 
in  Georgia,  Vt.

From  the  records  in  the  U.  S.  Pension  Office  it  is  found  that  Ezekiel 
Fellows,  b.  Aug.  25,  1754,  of  (New  Breton)  N.  H.,  enlisted  "Jan.  or 
Feb.,  1776,  and  served  till  Dec,  1776,  or  Jan..  1777";  was  a  sergeant  in 
Capt.  James  Osgood's  Co.  in  Col.  Timothy  Bedel's  Regt.;  applied  for

FELLOWS. 

Joseph,  son  of  Joseph  and  Margaret  (Webster)  Fellows  (see  p. 
149),  enlisted  in  February  or  March,  1776,  to  serve  until  May,  1776,  as 
private  in  Capt.  James  Osgood's  company.  Colonel  Bedel's  regiment. 
He  was  captured  by  the  British  and  Indians  at  Cedar  Fort,  Canada.  He

Ebenezer  Deering's  company.  He  applied  for  a  pension  May  8,  1818,  and 
his  claim  was  allowed.  He  resided  and  died  in  Andover.  His  widow 
applied  for  a  pension  April  24,  1840.  Her  residence  then  was  Franklin 
and  her  age  seventy-eight.  Most  of  the  above  data  are  from  the  records 
of  the  war  department  in  Washington,  D.  C.  Another  record  (see  p. 
149)  gives  the  date  of  Mrs.  Fellows'  death  as  March  29,  1805.  This 
record  as  printed  must  be  an  error.

HAINES. 

Josiah  Haines'  name  appears  on  a  receipt  roll  dated  Hampton,  June 
13,  1778,  which  shows  that  he  had  enlisted  to  serve  as  a  soldier  until  the 
first  day  of  January,  1779.  He  was  a  member  of  Capt.  Ezekiel  Worth- 
en's  Co.;  enlisted  from  Kensington  and  was  discharged  Jan.  4,  1779, 
He  enlisted  from  Andover  July  5,  1779,  and  was  discharged  Jan.  15, 
1780.  He  enlisted  July  23,  1782,  as  a  private  in  Capt.  Ebenezer  Web- 
ster's Co.  of  Rangers;  was  discharged  Nov.  7,  1782.  Josiah  Haines  en- 
listed in  Col.  Hercules  Mooney's  Regt.  July  5,  1779,  for  the  tovm  of  An- 
dover; discharged  Jan.  15,  1780.  He  was  also  in  Colonel  Stickney's 
Regt,  raised  for  the  defense  of  Rhode  Island. 

Josiah  Haines  continued  his  residence  in  Andover  after  the  close  of 
the  war.  He  was  the  first  blacksmith  in  town  and  worked  at  his  trade 
for  many  years  on  Connor's  Hill.  It  is  supposed  that  David  Haines,  also 
a  blacksmith,  who  lived  near  the  Robbins  house  in  the  first  house  east 
of  the  tui-npike,  and  on  the  road  towards  Shaw's  mill,  was  a  descendant 
of  Josiah  Haines.  David  Haines  had  a  dau.  Ruhauuah,  who  was  once  a 
prominent  student  at  Andover  Academy.  No  later  records  of  Josiah 
or  David  have  been  found.

RANO. 
(See  Part  I,  pp.  189,  190,  191;  also  Part  II,  p.  28-',.) 


RAINO. 

This  name  appears  in  wills  and  other  records  variously  as  Raynes, 
Raines,  Rayneau,  Raino  and  Rano. 

Mr.  Orra  E.  Monnette,  Los  Angeles,  Cal.,  traces  the  family  in  this 
country  as  follows,  mcstly  from  wills.  (See  Maine  Wills,  Vol.  1,  p. 
145.) 


404  History  of  Andover. 

Raynes,  Capt.  Francis,  b.  in  England  or  France  about  1625.  He  was 
a  Huguenot  refugee  and  came  to  the  island  of  Barbadoes  in 
1635,  in  the  ship  True  Love;  later  came  to  Massachusetts.  He 
is  recorded  as  at  Dover,  N.  H.,  in  1652,  where  he  served  in  mili- 
tary companies  as  ensign  in  1652,  lieutenant  in  1654  and  cap- 
tain in  1659.  He  was  also  of  Portsmouth  and  later  of  Dover, 
where  he  died,  1693. 

Natiianikl  Raynes,  son  of  Capt.  Francis  Raynes,  b.  about  1650. 

John  Raynes,  son  of  Nathaniel  Raynes,  d.  before  1722.  John's  wife, 
Elizabeth,  dau.  of  Thomas  Paine,  d.  after  1720.  John  was  of 
York,  Me. 

Elias  Rano,  son  of  John  and  Elizabeth  (Paine)  Raynes,  2d,  settled  in 
Andover  or  New  Breton   (see  p.  284.) 


When  the  news  of  the  engagements  at  Concord  and  Lexington  reached 
New  Breton  ou  April  21,  1775,  John  Rano,  or  Raino,  with  other  set- 
tlers in  this  town,  started  immediately  for  the  scene  of  action  and 
participated  in  the  struggle  at  Bunker  Hill,  where  Rano  was  wounded 
in  the  ankle.  His  name  appears  in  Massachusetts  records  as  attached 
to  a  Massachusetts  regiment.  At  that  period  and  for  four  years  later 
enlistments  were  sometimes  in  the  state  militia  and  sometimes  in  the 
Continental  army.  In  the  militia  the  enlistments  were  for  short  periods 
and  privates  seem  to  have  been  frequently  transferred  from  one  regi- 
ment to  another.  In  many  cases  the  only  records  of  individual  service 
are  derived  from  the  various  pay  rolls. 

Rano  appears  in  1777  as  a  corporal  in  Captain  Scott's  Company, 
First  New  Hampshire  Regiment,  commanded  by  Col.  Joseph  Cilley. 
He  also  appears  in  1777  as  a  member  of  Colonel  Stickney's  Regiment. 
He  may  have  been  paid  with  Stickney's  men.  He  enlisted  in  Scott's 
Company  April  26,  1777.  His  name  appears'  on  a  return  dated  March 
19,  1779,  as  a  soldier  in  the  Continental  army,  enlisted  from  the  Fifth 
Regiment,  New  Hampshire  state  militia;  abode  given  as  New  Breton, 
enlistment  credited  to  Amherst,  N.  H.  He  was  reported  as  a  deserter 
from  First  New  Hampshire  Regiment  Nov.  6,  1778.  The  following  cer- 
tificate indicates  his  position  at  two  epochs: 

"Exeter,  May  6,  1782.  This  certifies  that  John  Raino  a  soldier  who 
deserted  from  the  1st  N.  H.  Regt.  in  the  year  1778,  joined  the  army 
sometime  in  Feb'y  last,  has  been  sent  out  by  Major  Scott  and  has  taken 
up  one  or  more  deserters,  and  that  he  was  lately  at  camp. 

"JONA.    WiLLARD,    LT." 

There  is  in  the  family  a  tradition  that  Rano  was  taken  prisoner, 
confined  in  a  prison  ship  near  New  York,  escaped,  but  did  not  return 
to  his  regiment.  Soon  after,  in  1778,  he  appeared  in  Poultney,  Vt,  as 
Joseph  Raim.  After  residing  in  Poultney  for  some  time  he  returned  to 
the  army,  probably  in  1782,  and  served  till  end  of  war.     In  Poultney  he
